Unidentified things on coral

[Apartmenttank]

Its really hard to get a picture of it. Around my zoas there is almost a slight fuze. the zoas have been in there for before my tank has been mine. there has been no new addition.

Its not algae or atleast i dont think it is because nothing is attempting to eat it.

Could it be the zoas spreading? or another coral Growing there? should i try to cut off whatever it is? or just wait to see if it changes? or take it out to get a better picture?

sorry, the picture is useless on identifying anything

 

[Apartmenttank]

was hoping the description would help. How would you take a picture of something so small?

remove all the blue light,if you're using your phone for a camera place it directly on the glass and zoom in

You need to either use a custom white balance, (can be done on many point/shoots and all DSLR's) or fix it in your photo editing software

Looks like encrusting ago he. Good filter feeder

Facebook group said it was a sponge? but if it is a ago will the zoas grow over it or no? and is there a way to remove it if it will prevent zoa growth.

Just looked at my last post. Gotta love auto correct. Yes, I think it's a sponge. The Zoas will probably out compete it or at least just spread the other direction. You could try to scrape it off but because sponges can regenerate from a single cell it probably won't work. Kalk paste might work but could also damage the zoanthids. I'd just leave it and enjoy the biodiversity
