Aren't foraminiferans tiny and hard and have sharp pointy bits? I'm with Doug, I'm thinking this is a red sponge, it looks more spongy and soft to me?

I've seen sponge grow in different colours in my tank - reds, blues, oranges, white, yellow. It seems like the yellow for some reason has more staying power though for some reason.
