Removing Sponge?

[katonge]

The beige/grey looking sponge at the top seems to be growing over my zoas. What is the best way to remove it?

That’s a gross looking one. Have you tried peeling it off yet? Some peel super easy, others don’t peel at all.
Can you remove that rock for some toothbrush scrubbing or no? That’s how I normally get rid of pesky sponges that don’t peel.

I have ‘t tried yet. My LFS guy said it might release toxins if I tried to remove it. So I thought I would check in here before I tried anything.

Doesn’t look like it’s just going to peel off easily.

That's not a sponge, looks like a leather coral.

Can you frag your zoas off on the back?

 

[katonge]

I don’t think so. They’re pretty small.
I removed part of whatever it is and it looks calcified under the top layer.

I'd let it grow, might end up being a nice looking toadstool
