ACANTHOS CORAL HELP!!! UNIDENTIFIED EGGS/ORANGE

[hexcolor reef]

My acanthos coral hasn’t been opening much past few days, after inspection I found orange gel like substance on skeleton of coral. Not sure if it’s eggs or some kind of infection. I scrapped it off with soft toothbrush

Looks like a sponge, harmless unless it starts to overwhelm the coral.

Agreed - the orange gel is a sponge; they’re generally harmless.
