No idea what this it attached to the underside of this frag plug. It's green an there are tubes or eggs next to it?

Please identify.

Not sure about the green thing but I agree with other members that the 2 little nodules are sponges
Very beneficial filter feeders

I was asking about the green thing and I guess it must be a sponge but it's not really in a location I want and must have moved there overnight. I have a conche and a hermit crab that could have dug up the frag but I usually put them back in a day, two tops

is a sponge id say remove it carefully and put in the sump they are amazing phosphate munchers just dont expose it to air or the bubbles get trapped inside the tubules and it will start to die. they will form anywhere dark that nutrients collect
