    Hey! I also think your LR is being taken over by sponge and/or some sort of tunicate ...

    I'd leave the sponge. It adds to the biodiversity of your tank, it looks cool, and it helps filter the water. GSP are a dime a dozen, and they will still continue to grow around the sponge. Very nice looking sponge btw :)
