ID Please : Sponge or Fungus?

[HanoverFist]

Recently a white/grayish blob began growing quickly on a piece of LR. There is a sponge growing next to it and it seems totally different in structure. It isn't a thread-like tangled mass, it's more of a smooth blob with grayish jelly inside.

Wondering if it's something I should scrape off before it gets too far.


Bright green baby sponge next to The Blob:

Yep, sponge and I would consider it good and the sign of a healthy tank.

Awesome, thanks. It's on a rock with corals and didn't want a fungus overgrowing them.

Wish the green one would grow as fast. Great color to it.

Ive got it almost overtaking my pink polyps?? have like a decent 3" colony and that sponge has woven a web arouind each and every polyp on the colony?? Funny if its called web sponge because everything looks cought in its web :)
