Can anyone ID this sponge looking thing in my zoas? The zoas are on a rock but this doesn't look like the rock. Doesn't seem to move at all.

Looks like a sponge to me. In general I leave sponges, but I had a blue photosynthetic sponge choke-out some zoas I had in the past. They don't seem too affected by them. If it becomes a problem with your zoas, or you're concerned it will, I'd remove it.
