Gelatinous Tapioca Balls

[AlohaTropics]

I don't have a pic yet but I thought I'd ask. Has anyone had these gelatin like clear tapioca balls growing on rocks? Its growing on some of my Acropora Colony's Base Rocks. Weird.

Green Bubble Algae?

 

[AlohaTropics]

No, its clear and a little mushy. Bubble Algae is also much firmer, this stuff is very gelatenous.

Probably a sponge.

Tunicates was my 1st thought as well.

Brendan! Your alive!

I'll have to post pics tomorrow. Not a sponge, almost as gooey as hair gel but forms in colonies of balls.
