Hard to tell, looks like a sponge. Is it white and a lil pasty almost? If so, scrape it right off...

Ya hard to tell but at first glance it looks like a giant cricket or something until you look closer and see the zoas in it. Maybe some kind of sponge. Can you get a better pic by chance?

Sponge for sure.

Yup, definite sponge, the hole gives it away... Use a small scalpel or even a tooth brush n scrub it right off...

yep spondge, never seen one grow over corals like that before though. most a generally harmless but that one certainly picked the wrong spot to grow.
