Sponge identification and advice please

Hey WAMAS! hope everyone is doing well in these trying times.

 

Quick question, this started out as a normal looking sponge but then started growing ugly and stringy.  Is this bad for my tank?  Should I remove it?  Is there a fish or invert that would eat it?  thanks for any help.

Sponges are filter feeders. But a lot of time they are super ugly. I normally peel mine off the rock and toss it. 
 

as for fish that eat it, the only problem is they will probably eat your corals as well.

Thanks!  I'll just pick it off.
