It's a type of tunicate. Tunicates are non-photosynthetic filter feeders that eat mainly bacteria.
Here's an article by Dr. Ron Shimek:

and a video of a similar tunicate eating:

. Did you grab one of the Coral Magazines Jim was giving out at the meeting? It has some good general info on them. I'll look it over again myself.

Please keep us posted about the blue gorgonian. CRA gets them every once in awhile and The Aquarium Shop had one two weeks ago. I've been wanting to get it, but I am not sure how it fares in an aquarium. If yours do well, I might get one myself.

tomoko,
I will keep you posted. I have been wanting one for some time, but could never find one at our lfs or our fellow reefers. I got it in a week ago tomorrow. Bought it from Vivid Aquaroiums.
I think it will do well in our tank, I have a beautiful purple one that I got from Tritions Garden when we had that big meeting up there(you were there) that is doing so good and even showing new growth.
We started feeding EVS spray dried phyto and everything in our tank is growing really good(including the gorgonians). We also have a corky finger gorgonian that has drop frags on it's on a couple of times and is about to drop a couple of more. We are having to really do more water changes because our phosphates were way to high from all the feeding of the gorgonians and the xxl fish that we have, but it is worht it.

moved him and tried to get a pick, but in a place that my out of date camera can't get a pic of. he now is looking like the previous pic, have also notice after the move another squirt of some kind on the back side of the rock.
I want one of those expensive cameras to be able to photograph my tank, but I would rather have a new rimless tank in my bedroom to replace my 29gal that has struggled for th past 6 years.
(but I want an UMPALUMPA NOW!!!!!!!!!)
