What is this growth on my candy cane colony?

Looks like a pineapple sponge

It looks white and fuzzy almost like mold... it structured...

Ok I just giggled pineapple sponge, definitely that. Is it bad? Good? Should I remove it?

Not bad just a filter feeder but they can spread into your piping/filters so I remove most of them when I can

Right on, it’s literally on the base of a polyp, it can’t hurt the coral? If they can spread I may just remove it
