    I found this thing under one of the rocks and I thought it was a skeleton of a dead coral but when it extended the dangly thing I sort of was unsure. It has been there for a couple weeks now and so far it hasn't moved. It looks sort of like a cream-ish colour brain..... maybe a type of coral? Any id's and info on it would be helpful. :)

    Doesn't look like a coral to me, it almost looks like a shriveled anemone...??

    Most likely a sponge; harmless.
