help with an I.D.

So I moved my rock around a little bit and found this. I didn't touch it because I don't know what it is yet. It's kind of a peach color and a little bigger than a quarter in size. Any ideas

In the second picture is my starry blenny. He was shy at first and now he has to be the center of atention.

It looks like some type of sponge.

That's what I thought but it's flat. Like paper thin. I tried looking through pictures of random things to find something close to it but nothing.

It safe as long as its not growing on corals or competing for space. If it starts to grow under corals like moti's or chalice then I would remove it from there. I have sponges all around my tank but I havent had any issues with them at all with growing under my montipora or any other corals

Don't worry too much. they tend to hide in crevices and shady spots away from your corals.
