Colonial tunicates; technically harmless filter-feeders, but they can sometimes become invasive and grow over and smother stuff in our tanks. I usually recommend isolating them somewhere where it's easy to control the spread/remove if needed.

I can't see them well enough to say for sure which, but Botryllus and Botrylloides species can look similar to this.
