Looks like a pineapple sponge. Although they are harmless filter feeders I would remove it coz it can shed the crown like fibre glass as I found out first hand with one of my mini maxis. That's what might stop the scolly from fully inflating.
I think they are referring to the dark looking hole to the right of the sponge?

No I mean the sponge lol. But I see tons of them now like atleast 3. Idk if scolys can move on their own?? But for some reason it seems like It rotated because I can see the backside more now and it seems like a bunch of critters on it. Long white worm shaped critter and pineapple sponge shape critter.

Where's my anemone?
Is it stationary? It looks like a tube worm to me.No I mean the sponge lol. But I see tons of them now like atleast 3. Idk if scolys can move on their own??

It sways a little but maybe from the flow. Mostly stationary yes. If it is tube worm, what can I do?
The scoly shouldn’t move on its own
The white tube worm is probably harmless given the location. If you want to remove it a flat head screwdriver should break it off
The sponge can probably be scraped off. And some hydrogen peroxide applied with a Q tip or paintbrush should clean the area and get rid of any leftover traces

tweezers will also do the trick!
