I looked it up on WetWebMedia and Bob said it was an opportunistic fungal growth that will highly likely claim the life of this sponge colony. ... common on specimens in decline. Cutting off unaffected parts, moving these to more propitious circumstances (often well-established refugiums, less lighted...) is about all that generally saves part of it. Here is the link http://www.wetwebmedia.com/spongedisfaqs.htm

Thanx I got looking at and no part of it was unaffected so I am pulling it out of my tank in order to save the orange fan sponge. Thanx again for posting the link very helpful
