All the pics I just looked up do not look like this. And it has been in that exact spot, no movement for prob 5 days at the least.

Torch has been the happiestI have seen since we bought it here lately as well

Hard to tell but could be just a sponge, especially if it's been stationary for a while. Easily removable if need be.

So removal wont hurt the torch?

As long as you don't hurt the actual coral tissue you'll be fine.

My guess is that it is a sponge. I would leave it since sponges are good filter feeders and is going to feed off of the waste from your Torch. Also, the Torch will not be affected by it since Euphyllia coral species carry a potent sting.
