Any idea what this big light purple thing is and the tiny one growing right next to it, also finding alot of little hairy black worms that look like Brissell worms kinda, part of one crawling out of a hole. All live rock from my local store

sponge

I was thinking some sort of sponge. Is it soft to the touch?

Have the same sponge, remove it, it is invasive and will spread like crazy.

It's semi hard semi soft, gonna remove it, any tips for pulling these out without harming the water quality or can I just rip it off the rock
