That looks like a photo taken by a Chinese satellite that can't focus and landed under the surface of a swamp on another planet! Sorry Optionman, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, you need a better photo. Maybe take it with full lights on, not just blue. The better light might also help you get it in better focus.

Lights were just ramping up. Here's another version not so zoomed in. Later in the day the Xenia mask it from camera view. 939CD7BD-3772-4D7D-A932-A8A051362A22.JPGFDD4AECC-6CEC-4D86-A5AE-2C5805D40878.jpg

If it's green and vegetative rather than coral-like, get rid of it.

It looks kind of like like Caulerpa nummularia and some roots sticking out here & there. If you pull on these slowly sometimes you can remove quite a bit at a time.
