Found this on my zoas.

Here is a pic of one from Google

Could be a sea squirt. I had something similar looking in my tank and my lfs told me that's what it was.

I don't have any experience with that trigger so hopefully somebody who does will chime in. I'm sure your clowns will be alright, but your shrimp will be at risk.

I copied and pasted this from liveaquaria.com, hope it helps "The Bursa Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth."

What do you feed it?

I believe it is from the group Eunicea succinea. GARF'S ALL ABOUT CORALS - GORGONIANS has a lot of info on the different types of gorgonians. This site says the Eunicea succina do not need to be fed but grow better when food is provided.

They are a soft coral and some are photosynthetic while others are not and require feedings. By looking at your pictures it looks pretty close to mine and I believe mine is photosynthetic so I have it fairly close to the top of my tank. I do however feed mine every other day with cyclopeeze...

Yep even if a fish brushes against it it sucks the polyps in and the "stalk" looks like a greyish purple I feed mine cyclopeeze and when some flows by the polyps they close like a hand and grab the food and then open back up to grab more.

There are hundreds different types here is a picture of mine

They are also known as sea fans and some of them are photosynthetic while others require feedings. Here is a link with more info Gorgonians I'll have to find the picture of mine and post it for you

It almost looks like a small gorgonian

I am wanting to get a goby and pistol shrimp for my tank because I find their relationship fascinating and was wondering if I could get them even though I have a blue jaw trigger? I have hermits and snails in the tank right now and he hasn't bothered them.

Like the chart but I didn't see anything about gorgonians.

What exactly does it do?
