Heres a question, should I remove the green nitrate sponge?

I am feeding nitrate to the plants and this sponges job seems to be gobbling it up.

[john dory]

I am going to do some more research and make a phone call or 2 with a view to removing it during water change on monday.

 

[john dory]

I don't know about that mate.
