Any idea what is growing along with my zoas? The top photo is something growing on the bottom and is about the size of a jellybean. The bottom photo has this thing that is maybe the size of a big Rice Krispie, and looks like it has a little fan-like thing sticking out the end.

Did some looking around, I'm willing to bet the fuzzy thing is a pineapple sponge, but the "foot" coming out of it is odd.

The other photo (w/ the zoas), is on the opposite side of the rock as the presumed sponge (the rock is maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick at that point). Could it be another sponge growing through?
 
Yes they don't grow a mat like some other sponges so it shouldn't irritate your zoas
