Bivalve on my Octospawn?

Recently (one week or so) I have noticed that my Octospawn has not been opening up completely. So I started to really check it out and it seems like there is something living on the skeleton. When I tap the tank it closes up like a bivalve. I highly doubt it is another head growing. I will post pictures below. Im curious if someone has an idea, if bot I will pull the coral out and try to peel off whatever it is on there.

What you describe is certainly plausible. It's tough to tell from the pics but it looks like something might be there. If it's bothering the coral I would remove it as you mentioned.
