Could someone please identify this on my live rock around 1” in size, soft tissue, almost fluffy. This has appeared in 5 days from starting cycle. This rock was from another tank but has been dried for several months and rinsed before set up. Is this healthy or does it need removing?

My Tank Thread
A sponge of some sort - harmless.
I second sponge. Harmless and good for the tank.
Thank you. I was just surprised to find anything in 5 days from set up. Was just moving rock as realised could not get to the back of the tank and I wanted flow all around when I put my finger on it! Was shocked as was not expecting any growth of any kind in 5 days. Although according to testing the tank appears as though cycled!! Bacteria bloom, algae starting, initial ammonia spike and levels now settled.
Good catch @Jeight. I did not notice it was a new member.Welcome to R2R!!!
