Purple web-like stuff

[Joe69]

Anyone know what this stuf is? It is beginning to grow at an alarming rate. At first I thought it was coraline, but now I'm guessing it is something else.

It is starting to branch off to the glass as well.....

most sponges die off if exposed to air. If you bring some, bag it in the tank so it never leave the water.
