Looks like 1 of 3 things- Sponge (doubtful), Tunicates (possible), or Bryzoans (just as possible)

ive never heard of that one read up on it and would be cool if it was. when i pick it up it doesnt feel hard or firm, feels kind of squishy almost

it started growing in my 30 gallon on an old skeleton i had bought with some rock. it really took off when i put it into my 65 gallon with the 400watt halides. at first it started covering the skeleton in a small snake like patternm then when the skeleton was covered it grew like tunnels inlets kind of like my blue sponge has.(the blue sponge was added a lot later after this one developed) the inlets close up at night most of the time or when its being touched. the inlets dont have any tenicles comming from them like the description of the Bryzoans

Tunicates of some sort would be my guess. Keep it isolated. Post this in reef discussion maybe and see what they say, i dont belive it is a soft coral.
