I am a noob to reefkeeping. I have a 100 gal bowfront with 80 lbs of real reef rock and a 30 gal refugium. It has been up and running for 4 months now and is doing well. It has cycled and Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are all running at zero. It is currently a FOWLR tank, I presently have 10 fish in the tank (3 Chromis, 2 SA Fancy Clowns, a yellow tank, a coral beauty, a fire fish, a yellow watchman goby and an algae blenny plus 10 snails and 10 hermit crabs for CUC. Oh yeah, I also have 1 cleaner shrimp and 2 peppermint shrimp.
Everything is going great except for this one un-identified growth on the one of my rocks. here is a photo.

I don't think it is Aiptasia, I had some small Aiptasia about a month ago and the Pep's polished that off, but they have not touched this. However the Pep boys and I may be wrong. it has not spread at all, but has grown in size a little. I would appreciate your ideas on what it is and what to do with it.

Thanks!

Is it hard or soft to the touch?

It is soft to the touch and did not sting or stick to my finger
