Hi all, need help to identify what is this. I recently get this 3ft tank from my friend and I saw this patch of white things beneath the live rock and it actually grows over a 2 month period. As my tank is FOWLR and I do not intend to have any reef in the near future. Does this parasite will harm my fish or live rock ? Should I remove it. If remove it can I just scoop it out.

thanks for your advice.
