Foam for pipes around underbelly?

Hey folks, I'm doing some leak repair and I need to remove some foam around the pipes in the underbelly. Pic is below. I'm not sure what I need to replace it with when I'm done. Does anyone know? (Silly question, I'm sure you guys do haha).

Is it something I can buy locally at a hardware store?

Thanks in advance!

    I agree, and is what I'd suggest.

    You can get the foam in black. It is used for outdoors and is called
    Pond and Stone.

    Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like the foam was sprayed there just to seal up the hole around the pipe. If that's the case, then I believe you can use the spray foam in a can that's used for the same purpose in a house. It's available in any home improvement store.

    Looks like standard construction foam. It comes in different expansion qualities. Most hardware stores should stock it in aerosol cans.
    Some is easy to trim with knife.
