I have what I am fairly certain is a sponge that started growing on the bottom of my GSP and then transferred onto the rock the GSP was sitting next to. It's starting to get bigger and spreading so I am wondering what species it is if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Picture one looks like a sponge... but I've spent my day cleaning my tank which is full of a fast growing coraline algae that is brown that looks like the second picture. If it starts "plating" then it is coraline.
 
It's the same stuff in both pictures. If you look closely you can see some tubes sticking up from it on the second picture.
