    Right click on the picture that you posted and choose "Properties". The name of the animal is right there. "Botrylloides".....sea squirts.

    I believe these are in the family chordata... which makes them a filter feeder (bacteria and algae)
    I have never heard if they are beneficial or detrimental to home aquaria though? :/

    if you look closely at the yellow areas, you can see the siphons or mouths. However they are mostly closed in this picture

    The answer my friend...is blowing in the wind :lol:

    P.S. I had to remove the image tags from the original post as hotlinking is not permitted. Thanks for understanding.
