    when moving my brain to a different side i guess i turned it around from how i had it originally facing, and found these two tubes, on the other side of the brain i had a feather duster, are these the same or something different?

    I have some weird tubes like that in my tank!! I tried posting an ID thread once, but my pic was too blurry and no one could help. Mine are like a dark blue color and they open and then squeeze closed every now and then.

    I dunno!

    Most sea squirts are harmless I doubt these would be any different
