Could that be a sponge or tunicate? Let's get more eyes on this.... #reefsquad @KJ

Evening,

It is not a new head. I agree on a sponge or some filter feeder. Should not be harmful.

Edit, you may want to pull and clean the frag if it is new. Looks like may have some DHL edit, vermitid worms at the base.

Looks like a barnacle. Harmless filter feeder.
