I have a pipe organ coral that has been flourishing in my tank. When I got it, it had very few polyps, but in the last couple of months, it has exploded and I've got tons of new growth.

I am currently battling a bubble algae problem, and three of the tubes currently have bubble algae in them. I tried to pull it out, but I'm afraid of breaking the bubbles and making the problem worse.

Also, on the back of the pipe organ, there seems to be some kind of white sponge growing on it. It doesn't seems to be smothering the polyps or hurting it in any way, but should I attempt to remove it?

Thanks!
