What is this on my Zoanthids?

Certainly didn't come from a rock. I'm using Reef Cleaners rock and it's clean.
It's the strangest damn thing. Aside from the Reef Cleaners rock, which was 100% clean, I've carefully inspected the few pieces of coral that I've added to the tank and this white stuff didn't exist before this morning. It seriously looks like something laid a larval sack overnight. Are there any critters that can do something like that? Snails? Anything?

Looks like a sponge to me
After reading several other threads on various sites, I believe this was a fungus of some sort. From my reading, sponges grow around the polyps but don't directly damage them. Whatever was on this rock was dissolving the polyps.
I took the rock out of the tank, broke a few pieces off the clean end of it and then trashed the rest of it. Whatever the white stuff was basically turned to a slimy mucus by the vibration of chiseling through the rock. Definitely not a sponge.
