It's a type of Sponge, used to have them on my zoas and it went away over time.

Ok, but its not going to hurt them?

Might cause the zoas to close up but shouldn't bother them too much, mine did just fine with it.

Most sponges will die off over time. I’ve read you can expose them to air to speed up the process. Take the zoas with sponges on them out of the tank for a few minutes. Won’t make them go away instantly or anything, but will speed up their dying process.

Yeah...had them on my big colonies of bam bams and dragon eyes. The Zoas ignored the stuff and just grew over it.

5 minute fresh water dip accelerated the demise of the stuff and didn't bother the zoas.
