    I'd definitely say tunicates.
    Cool hitch hiker.
    The other is probably a kenya tree like stated above. but it could also be other various corals like gorgonian etc. get some pics up to help us better identify the corals.
    Cycling my not kill it, because living in the Caribbean, I harvest my own LR and sometimes I get lots of different stuff on my rock and most of the hitch hikers survive the cycle.

    The tube part yes but it's not clear and does dot have a v connection. I see that yours has a tube and another tubes connects off of it. All my tubes start from the bottom and shoot up. I don't know if what im saying makes any difference im sure all of them are problably slighly different, maybe. I m really clueless on coral i have been learning fish for now.

    If it is like yours what kind of flow does it need.
    Should it be near the sand?
    Do i need to feed it?

    Thanks a lot

    i dont do anything special for the tunicate since its on my brain it better be happy where its placed but as far as being placed near the sand i dont know, my brain is a sand coral so it gets placed on the sand and i dont feed it anything i assume its just a filter feeder and catches whatever floats by

    and that's also an older picture the color has changed from that color to like a darker brown/black
