Unknown Opaque Mass

This is the second one of these I have found at the base of coral frags. First was at the base of a candy cane and this one is on a favia. It's like a jelly kind of consistency. I was able to suck it out with an eye dropper. Anyone seen this before? Some kind of pest egg sack?

The white stuff? Carbon eating bacteria?

My phone just went crazy, sorry.

You're sure that's what it is? Is it bad? Is there anything I should do?

I had one of these on the base of my hammer frag few months back, my emerald crab ending up ripping it to shreds and ate it. Never had a chance to post it and ask so I'm curious as to what ppl say.....

I'm like 90% sure it wasnt there when I dipped the frag. I'm very curious as well because I got quite a few hitchhikers on these frags.

If im looking at the right stuff I think its just bacteria do you run alot of nopox or vodka something like that?

Nope, nothing. It's a little 10 gallon qt tank. Hob just has filter floss.
