Large Golden Growth in Center of Sago Palm

I have a sago palm that has a large alien-like growth coming out of the center. It is golden in color and looks like a giant bud or something. It has been there for about 6 months. I have an identical sago about 15 feet from this one, but it does not have this growth on it. What is this and can it be removed?

Because sago palms are either male or female, they will have distinct reproductive organs. The females will produce a yellow flower in the center of the leaves, and the male will produce a large cone in the same location. It sounds as if you may have a male. This can be cut off and will not harm the plant.
