Please help ID this. . .

Found a clear/white mass about the size of a quarter. It's spongie, similar to a cotton ball and stays compressed when squeezed. Any ideas? Should it be removed?

I'll try and get a picture later.

Thanks!

If it's a sponge, is there any reason to remove it?

Yep, that's a sponge. No need to do anything with it. They'll come and go on their own, and they're good for the tank.
