I’ve read that scoly’s reproduce sexually so I’ve very curious what this could be. You can only see it once the lights have turned off, when he opens his tentacles for feeding. I’ve also read accounts of people having their scolys “bud” new mouths. Whatever this is resembles the color of my scoly leaving me more interested. Is this a baby scoly having budded? Any input is greatly appreciated

Looks like it has two siphons sticking out. If you poke it, does it close? If so likely you’ve got yourself a hitchhiker clam of some sort.
 
I’ve had the scoly for over two years so that’d be weird, I haven’t tried poking it.
