Are These Copepods?

[Cole's Coral Shack]

Found these all over my overflow. More have appeared since photographed. Are these copepods?

No, it looks like a pineapple sponge

+1.0302401598142 for pineapple sponges, they won't do any harm but they will grow on everything.

Thank you. Is there any way to get rid of it? Will it grow in my display?

Not sure if you can't get rid of it completely but they only grow in shaded areas, I've never seen them grow in the open light, so your display is safe.

Ok Thanks for the help.

They are filter feeders, so if you reduce the food in the water column you should be fine. Also I had a ton of them but I guess they reached critical mass and then all died off for the most part.
