Is this some type of sponge? No not the zoas. The little ball with all the little arms. It's half black and half white.

I can't say for sure from the pic but it sort of reminds me of a kind of cyanobaterium: like cotton candy algae. Have you touched or poked it? Is it spongey or hard or loosely intertwined? If there are polyps that retract, then it's hydroids but it seems weird for them to grow in a ball like that.
