Halfway expecting someone to tell me it’s something terrible lol

That's cool!

Agreed — however some of what I’m reading suggests it could cause problems next to corals..

How so? Both sponges and tunicates are filter feeders

Won't cause any problems. And you'll be lucky if it lasts more than several months. These are very hard to keep in captivity.
So enjoy it while you have it! Very cool.
