I was wondering if anyone could confirm for me if these are pineapple sponges in my sump?

I've got a Fluval 13.5G nano tank and these guys just started popping up everywhere in the sump. From what I've read, they're filter feeding, mainly eating organics and silicates?

Thank you! should I be removing them? or just leave them?
 
Let them be. Great filter feeders

Pineapple sponges are harmless filter feeders in a tank. Perfectly reef safe!

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 11.1%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.4%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 7 15.6%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)
