1.What's the size?
A) about 1/4 inch
2.Have you seen it moving around or is it stationary? - Edit - just saw your response regarding the coral dip - do you remember seeing it move before then?
A) 1St time I ever seen it it was on the wellso after I dipped it I actially had to pick it off ..so I never seen it moving
3.Does it react at all to being touched?
A) it was dead when I found them
4.Can you see any eyes or anything else "anatomical" on it (tentacles, siphon, any indication of "parts", etc.)?
A) I didn't see anything like eyes ect...(not saying there was anything )
5.Turn the thing over - do you see anything different or anatomical now?
A) I cant I mashed it up .(sorry)
6.Is it completely soft, or can you feel any sort of shell/hardness on/within it? - Looks like you've already answered this one - it's squishy, so I'll take that as a no, but try it again just to make sure. Take the end of a turkey baster or whatever you have laying around and poke at the thing. When you do that, does it go right in (like the Pillsbury dough boy) or do you feel like you're hitting something? It may not be very hard, but it's apparent that the "thing" has some sort of membrane/shell/structure inside that will cause some resistance to being poked.
A) it was kinda soft but it had a harder (but soft ) core that broke down with a little restance ... when I did smash it it was all brown and gooey no internal stuff like blood or guts ect... with clear mucas
7.I can't quite tell from the photo, but do you see any sort of pattern to it or is it pretty much all one color?
A) no color just brown and gooey
8.If the thing is stationary and hasn't moved at all, put it in a cup of SW, take your turkey baster and blast some water at it. Does it stay intact or start falling apart? Does it look any different now? Maybe it's something like a piece of bubble algae with some sort of bloom (algal/coral slime, etc.) around it.
A) didn't seem like alage... weird that it was on the same exact spot that the wellso was dying .... also there was 2 of them (looked the same just one was smaller ... and my wellso has to bad spots
