This organism appeared "out of nowhere" as so many of them seem to do. But what is really strange is that I have not added anything new to the tank for at least 3 months. It was probably on my live rock which came from a very established and healthy tank. My tank has been up and running for 7 months.
Anyways, it looks pretty much like someone took a piece of gum, and stretched it across my rock, and it grew tentacles. It is whiteish in color, is about 2 inches across, and very thin. It has long tentacles with prongs at the end (3-4 of them ranging from 1 inch to 3 1/2 inches) and sort of cone like bumps on it with circular holes at the top. Another one popped up recently.
I know that it will be hard to positively identify my mystery organism without a photo, but I am hoping that I can get some possible ID's for further investigation.
Any ideas? I would take a photo but it is in a place that is not very accessible, which is why I probably did not notice it until I saw one of its tentacles swaying around. I looked on several reef pest websites and I didn’t see anything that looked like it.
Thanks

I think it is something else.
