I believe it is the white snow flake in a blizzard sponge.

Here has been my experience with sponges. I have one growing on one of my lr. At first I thought it was cool the I freaked out thinking it might take over the tank. I posted a thread with a pic and most everyone told me they weren't a bad thing but if they start to grow over or too close to something just scrape it off. Right now I wouldn't be too concerned. I'm sure some of the more experienced reefers will also chime in

Pictures are necessary.
*Most* sponges are actually quite difficult to care for requiring large amounts of phytoplnkton to survive, and some are even quite toxic.
