Is the large red organism in the photo a coral species?

Hi,

Louise has answered for the orange organism, she said that it should be a Botrylloides spp. (from tunicate/ascidian branch).

But for the red one, the big hole (on the top of the picture) suggest a sponge or a ascidia. The picture is to blurry. Nevertheless you had seen a lot of little hole on the "skin", it's a sponge. Example of red sponge: https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Phorbas-topsenti-E...

Bonjour.
Apparemment, il y a une éponge et des ascidies composées Botrylles.
