Does anyone know what’s up with this small zoa colony? It seems to be growing but what’s growing doesn’t grow heads.

Looks like there is a translucent sponge encroaching on the frag plug. Usually these are harmless filter feeders, but they can be killed by injecting them with air, boiling water, or hydrogen peroxide.
