Hitchhiker Critter ID is this a sponge ? Or something else growing on the bottom of my scoly

Hey guys & gals , happy weekend, hope everyone is doing ok

Recently found this growing underneath one of my scolymia, appears to be some sort of sponge / truncate but wanted to post photos just to make sure it’s not something more invasive which warrants removal

Here is a photo (attached) the thing I am asking about is the white growth on the right side underneath scoly (left side is pineapple sponge)

Thank you

I see poriferan sponge and pineapple sponge. Take the frag out and place in a container of tank water. Use a dental type pick or small crochet needle and gently pull off. Other option is to inject with air or vinegar via syringe which will stop it
