sponge growing on zoa colony

[beashay]

I have a colony of zoas that I noticed last night wasnt opening on one side and I noticed that there are two what I believe are sponges going on them. Anyone know a way to get rid of the sponges? Freshwater dip perhaps? Anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance for the replies and have a great day.

just peel it off

Use tweezers and just pull them off. Make sure you get all of it. A died sponge can cause fungus.

just be patient while removing and have plenty of light.

Agreed, they come off pretty easily.
