Help: Pink Growth on base of LPS Hammer

New member
There is a pink, slime type growth on the skeletal base of my Hammer coral, and I noticed it on a separate piece of Pocillopora as well.

Any idea what it is, and whether it is causing harm, and if so...what I can do about it??

Thank you!
Luke

Looks like it could be an encrusting sponge. I've got a large one on some LR, it's been in my tank a long time and doing well LOL.

As long as it's not agitating your coral I wouldn't worry about it. Sponges are filter feeders and generally good for your system.
