Found this bright yellow worm looking thing attached to a piece of caleurpa. Two days later there a few of these yellow spots, but they all seem to be on the tips of the caleurpa. Any ideas?

Does it move? I’m thinking pineapple sponge
 
I’ve been staring at it and haven’t seen it move...I have plenty of pineapple sponges in the sump...they are all opaque white and the same shape.
Here is yellow version

I know the pics are hard to tell...but these things are very vibrant yellow. The shape is also peculiar.
 
If they don't move and they are attached to the tips of the algae, could they be a part of the algae? Like an inflorescence or flower?
 
So are they still there? Do they move around on the algae?
