Should I cut the zoa polyps off and re glue them to a different plug? Or take a scalpel and tweezers to the sponge and remove it? I do know some are invasive, but I also know others are symbiotic. Not sure what this one is. Found it last night when the lights were off, and it was having them closed, but this morning when the lights were on as always were fully opened with full extension to take a picture I closed them myself. It does look like it’s consistently just on the base and not covering heads, but not sure if it will. IMG_1851.jpeg

Pretty normal really. Most sponges are just fine and beneficial. I would just leave it and keep an eye on it. If it starts to overgrow the zoas then just reach in a pull it out by hand. Sponges are generally really easy to remove that way
