Is my orchid killing itself. What is it doing

[yeoshua88]

So I have had this phal schilleriana for almost 2 years now and it has grown well for me. It came to me in spike and did not flower last year but I suspect that is due to a combination of me moving and being forced to repot around the time it would have flowered. This year it put up a wonderful leaf and is in the process of putting up another. Today when I watered it I noticed this abnormality in the crown. *see attached pictures*. I am not sure what this is but it is growing through the crown and I think its destroying it. I have heard of some orchids putting up flower spikes that grow right through the crown and kill the orchid and I am worried that is what is happening here. I have never seen anything like this with any of the other orchids I grow and could use some advice from anyone who has seen something like this before.
