Sponges in Blasto

[Dw79]

Noticed pineapple sponges in my Blastomussa Merletti this morning. They are clearly making it irritated.
Can they removed with tweezers or something, or do I have to wait them out?

I would try to use tweezers if possible it appears to annoy the coral. I too strugglr with pest just pull as much out as you can as I will do with my own tank later.

Thanks, just wasn't sure if it was so soft that I would only get small pieces and leave some behind to grow back. I will brake out the tweezers start picking at it
