Can someone tell me what this is? Is it sponge. Just came back from a 3 week holiday and before I left I had a few of these white spots. These are now all over my sump and the stuff on my gsp frag is everywhere. Any advice is appreciated

The white spots are Spirorbid worms - harmless filter feeders.
These are sponges, yes - harmless filter feeders.
These may be sponges too, but if they're growing over the top of a coral, they're definitely not harmless - given where it's growing, you may want to just take coral out and dip it or something and try to remove any leftover sponge you find in the tank too.
