Silicon Based Multi-Cells
I don't think that it's possible for non-carbon based life forms to exist because in Earth many of the other elements forms a variety of molecular structures. Carbon forms a many different kinds of long molecular chains and rings that form the basics for organic compounds, with hydrogen and oxygen. So living organisms need hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon to survive.

If a non-carbon-based life form was was here on Earth, there would be no way that it could last long because It couldn't compete with other carbon-based life forms all on Earth. And so these are my reasons why non-carbon based life forms are not possible.
