I emptied a tank yesterday and I removed a rock and found this on the bottom of it. It was sticking to another rock with whatever this white growth is.

Could be a cone jellyfish. Does it feel spongy or slimy?

Its more spongy but relatively firm.
Just something I can leave and not worry about it taking over the tank or anything?

Sponges are good filter feeders. They tend to like low light.
