The things on the back of the powerhead look different to me (they might be hydroids, but I can't tell for sure from the pic), but the rest of the things are definitely sponges - typically harmless filter feeders (they're not really a problem unless they're growing over and smothering corals).
Yeah, looks like colonial hydroids - nice pic of the branched one. You probably want to get rid of the rid of the hydroids, but I wouldn’t worry about the sponges at all (even with corals I wouldn’t be concerned much if at all).
