Can anyone tell me what this is? Came attached to rock for a colt coral that was purchased some time ago.

Thanks for the feedback. Any special requirements for it? Preference for high or low light etc?

It actually expands quite a bit at times, then shrinks when there's something nearby (i.e. snail, shrimp)
