It's sponges they come in different colors too, I have them in Purple, Yellow and White it also means that your tank has matured.

Like clams, sponge is also very beneficial in aiding with natural filtration. You want to encourage their growth. Feeding them Phyto occasionally also help them grow faster.

Most sponges are quite beneficial as sponge is once for once, one of the highest ranking nutrient uptakers in the reef...
having less experimental accumulative studies to be considered "scientific acceptable evidence"
I believe there is a (yet understood) positive symbiotic correlation between sponge health and SPS health environment....
