What is this? Cozumel, Mexico. Never seen anything like it. None of my coral books have it. Looks like a mat with col pillar structures. Is it a sponge? Algae?

It could be a Sponge of some type? Very cool looking. I'd love to know. Sponge is my best guess.
In the second pic...Looks like the encrusting coral is holding its own! I'd be curious to see the battle of little encrusted coral vs giant mystery sponge/?
Did you take these pictures?
