Can anyone tell me what this is on the frag? It’s orangy yellow and has a couple clear tubes blowing in the flow from it. Should I be removing it? The zoas open fine but it’s all in between the polyps

^^ Agree, sponge. Harmless. If it's irritating the zoas it can be easily blown off with a turkey baster or syringe.

Poriferan sponge. May creep up the plug. As Crabs mentioned, using a syringe, you can inject either with air or vinegar and it will shrink up
