Yellow Sponge on torch coral?

[lakai]

Does anyone know what this growth on my torch is ?? I'm not sure but it might be causing one of the heads to recede. It's yellowish with a cotton ball type texture to it. If anyone knows what this is and if it's bad how should I go about getting rid of it? Thanks in advice.

Hard to tell from the pic (can’t see the video). Sponges don’t do well when exposed to air. It looks easy to pull out. I’d pull out and expose to the air for a minute or so. Then try to brush off and dip and replace. I’ve tried this once and the sponge never came back.
