What kind of animal, are this coral or some kind of sponge.
Anything good or bad about this.

What kind of animal,

Sea squirts and tunicates belong to the subphylum Tunicata or Urochordata. They're extremely primitive chordates.

are this coral or some kind of sponge.

No, they're not corals and they're not sponges. They're very, very primitive chordates, related to vertebrates, like us, for instance.

Anything good or bad about this.

Good, I guess, certainly nothing bad. Some people use sea squirts as part of a biological filtration system.

Man, how come we never get cool stuff like this in our store?

I would love to have some in blue or yellow colors. ;;
