just picked this guy up, seems to be a sponge, outer layer feels leathery, skeleton is hard, & orange. appears to be non-photo since I was told it had been in a sump with no light. outer skin inflates/deflates when handled & appears to have "X" shaped mouths :Hydrogen:

Dex, it looks like an encrusting tunicate that has grown over a sponge or something. They are pretty fragile and I had my turbo snails eat one I had that was purple, white, and orange. What does it taste like:cheers:?
