Hello all, can anyone let me know what type of coral this is please? Also has what looks like a sponge attached, should I remove this?

Looks like some kind of clove polyp. I wouldn't worry too much about the sponge.
 
I'd leave the sponge and remove the polyps if it were my tank. They will spread pretty quickly if you aren't careful. What else do you have in the tank?
 
I believe this is briareum stechei, it will mostly encrust but will also grow out "nubs" or branch out horizontally a bit
