Saw this spiky coralline algae on my frag, and it almost looks meaty. A bit clear and sticks out 2mm and 3-4mm on spikes. What is this? Should i remove it? I can get a beter photo later.

Yeah that looks a lot like the pink sponge that's under my Duncan. Surprisingly hardy for a sponge lol

Thanks! Thought it must be some crazy invasive algae that would kill my corals. Thank you so much for easing my anxiety!
