definatly a porifera (sponge) this one I am familiar with though I couldnt tell you the exact species name, it is a 99% reefsafe, filter feeder. since it loves dark corners it usually doesnt encroach on corals. and that is about the only danger you would face from this type of sponge. or maybe a silicious or calcerous splinter from the sclerites if you were to poke it hard with your finger.
