ID Help, GOT PICTURE

[NaH2O]

Boomer, is it possible a sponge grew ontop of whatever this is? Let me know if you want me to PM LeslieH....

 

[jnarowe]

Blurry? That ain't right dude. :lol: That's not a bad pic shooting through plastic at an angle. Much better than I could do myself.

I doubt it is a sponge growing on top of something else. I don't see any kind of separation that would suggest two different organisms. BUT, I will get it back today and check it out again.

 

[Herefishyfishy]

Solitary tunicate

 

[Boomer]

No it is not that bad you did good.

Nope Nikki I do not think so. All I can say is that looks like a sponge siphon. If I have a few drinks and shoot for the stars maybe a Ascidian :lol:

 

[Boomer]

See, look at that even Mike is think'in that They just don't crawl up stuff though

 

[Boomer]

Yes, Nikki, PM Leslie tell her I NEED her She is back from her dive

 

[Dr. Dee]

Dr

Where did this come from ? Did I miss something ?

That's a good picture,Well several sea slugs have evolved.
It looks like a Phylum Phoronida.

As it makes no sense to me. Phoronida, Horeshoe Worms, are a Lophohorate related to Bryozoans. Kind'a or often mis-ID as small duster worms.

Yes Boomer your right,
That is what happens when a person is up to late in Bakersfield But lets call it a Doriopsis Pecten Dorididae.

Has anyone seen it move? Looks 100% like a solitary tunicate to me.

 

[Boomer]

Yes Mike it has moved but he has not seen it move. The issue is how did it attach itself to the side if it is a sponge or Ascidian.

 

[jnarowe]

It has moved but when I get it back, I will mark the container. Understand that when I popped it inside, it fell to the bottom and has worked its way to the current position.

 

[Boomer]

Les is on her way as we speak

 

[NaH2O]

Sheesh - I get back from the grocery store and I miss all the fun! Didn't even get a chance to PM Leslie. Can't wait to see what she thinks.

Easy boys, I was just trying to think outside the box by wondering if something was growing on it lolol . I could have just said...I think it's the Darth Vader Brain snail-sponge type thing :lol:

Let's get some more drinks in Boomer!

 

[Maxx]

Its obviously evil and different. It must be destroyed by holy water and silver....


On a side note, my first thought was sponge of some sort as well due to the siphon. The "feces" could be caused by something inside it?

Nick

 

[jnarowe]

Not just feces either but also what appears to be tissue.

 

[Herefishyfishy]

It has moved ...it fell to the bottom and has worked its way to the current position.

IT'S ALIVE!!!
Run for the hills, it's The incredible crawling sucking pooping solitary tunicate.

 

[jnarowe]

Let's just hope it's not THE BLOB.

 

[Curtswearing]

I look at the pics and see a couple things that could be baby snails and some things that look like errant pieces of GAC.

 

[jnarowe]

nope. No GAC. There was nothing in the bottle but clean tank water for over a month. No snails either. I have been contemplating a microscope for some time but still don't have it.

And I know what you mean because in the last picture you posted I see what looks like a baby rabbit!

 

[Curtswearing]

LOL

You stinker

 

[jnarowe]

I'd rather be a stinker, than a stinkee.
