Hi, just got a toadstool leather (my first coral) thats firmly attached to a rubble so i didnt take it off, but there are two spots of this red soft thing on the rubble close to its root. Should I scrape them off?

It looks like some coralline algae or potentially a sponge. Either way, nothing to worry about.
phew thanks, doesnt feel like coraline cuz its super soft, but if its a harmless sponge, ill just leave it
