Is this a type or sponge ?

does anyone know what this is, it’s starting growing in various places recently?
Sponge or type of algae, it’s white then has the pointed part at the ends, maybe a hitchhiker of some type. Also does that look like vermitid snails in the back ?

Such resolution! What camera is that?

I see pineapple sponges. Vermitids are not clear so I’d say tunicate or some sort of tube worm.

You've got at least two (probably three) kinds of sponges there, at least one of which is a Pineapple Sponge. All should be harmless filter-feeders. I believe the tubes in the back are also sponge, but you could touch one and find out for sure (soft = sponge, hard = not sponge).

Thanks I’ll take a closer look during a water change next week
