Hello, I was looking at my Duncan coral, and I noticed there’s a yellow spot on it. I tried searching it on Google to find out what it was, and I don’t know if it’s some kind of worm, or it’s due to water quality or water flow.

hard to tell from pic, possible new head sprouting out?
 
Here’s a picture under white light. It has multiple yellow spots. Is this what new heads look like?

Could be yellow sponge growth, does it move or come off easily?
 
No, they seem to be stuck on there.

I think that might be their natural color, my Duncan has that color on their stems, see pic.
