Went into the LFS the other day (Oceans...Calgary) and saw a coral that looked like a pig's heart....(gross description...but accurate)...it was yellow with purple veins.
I can't remember what it was called...I think he said it was a "yellow squash".
Anyone know what it is??

large tunicates like these are generally difficult to keep as they are strictly filter feeders. Comparable to gorgonians basically. imo, a no no in a nano.
