Botrylloides? sp. 9

This appears to be a species of Botrylloides. This one was under a rock on a Kwajalein Atoll lagoon reef.

The photo below looks like the same species, but its morphology of zooids in a circular arrangement around a central common cloacal opening seems to better fit the genus Botryllus.
