Need help with ID of something on zoa frag

[the55six]

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time posting. Can someone help identify what this whitish thing is that started to grow on my zoa's? I've had this frag for about a month and this just started growing about a week ago. I fear its aptasia but it doesn't quite look like other pics I've seen. Thanks for any help!

It looks like a white sponge coral. It’s invasive and a pain to remove. Good luck lol!!

It is Aipatasia

Thank you. I'll pull the plug out tomorrow and try the superglue method.

Its NOT aptasia but rather cryptic poriferan sponge which can be evasive and overtake frag.
You want to pull the plug and place in a container of tank water and pull of with a dental pick or small crochet needle or similar and discard

Thanks for your insight. I'll pull the frag and attempt that this morning!
