I noticed 2 zoa colonies closed up this weekend and upon inspection this morning noticed this white growth near each affected zoa. I’m a dealing with aiptasia?

Anyway to get a photo from a different angle?
 
This is the one “is this aptasia?” thread that gets to end in a no. It looks like sponge. You can scrape it off if it’s bugging the zoa

Here’s a video (the pic was a screenshot of this). Not the best and it’s in a spot my camera has difficulty focusing on. I removed the rock work from the tank and brushed the area off and hope whatever it was is gone. This zoa also had some bubble algae develop on the frag after about 2month in the DT, but I recently removed the plug and glued it to the rock work. Hoping for the best! Thanks!!!
