Sponge, algae or egg sac?
These came on some live rock I purchased. It seems to be getting larger. It is a white blob with a smooth shiny surface.

Can anyone ID it for me?
Thanks and happy New Year!

Looks like a sponge also to me...
If you find a 'valve' on it , then may it might be a Tunicate...

It is Cthulu. It will eventually develop tentacles and attempt world domination.

Or it's a sponge.
