Acan disease?

[RTab619]

I have an Acan that looks like it has some moldy grayish black sponge taking over. Is it a disease? It looks like it's growing on the plug too. Any clues?

Maybe brown jelly disease? Heard people talk about that.

Brown jelly is slimy and stringy. This is soft and thick - it looks like a sponge without pores. It very well be a sponge. Will sponges take over corals?

From what I read on google, yes. Maybe you have the entrusting kind. People say they get out of control and take over coral.

Where did you see it?

Just googled black sponge growing on coral. Found a few old message boards where people said they had it happen to them. And there are pictures.

I scraped off what I could. It looks like it's definitely choking out the Acan
