Looks like a type of leather, though it's hard to tell with the photo. To answer your second question, yes, they can be easily moved/propagated. Simply take a sterilized, very sharp razor blade/hobby knife and cleanly cut through the stalk near the base. Take the now free-floating piece and wedge it in between some rocks lower in the tank, where it's going to get moderate flow, and within a few days it should attach itself.

Keep in mind that you may have new leathers growing from the stumps as well, which is fine; you'll just have twice the leathers you had before!
