Suspected Sponge growing amongst my Zoas?

[Loring]

Noticed this little green guy in my zoas this evening when I was feeding the tank, usually they are never closed so I haven't noticed it before. My guess is some sort of sponge but wondering if anyone can ID it for me. Thank you in advance.

Looks like a common green sponge. They usually don't bother coral but you can remove it with some tweezers or a pick if you'd like.

Agreed, usually harmless filter feeder. I personally remove them if they’re wedged in my coral.

Here's the name ... Clathrina

Yeah I might pluck this one out then.

If you do it carefully, you can toss it in your sump
