Is the white tube connected to the little pile there? If so, it reminds me of the thread below, and is likely a tunicate (or sponge) of some kind. Those little eggs/heads in the pile may actually be eggs or new tunicates/sponges budding up.

Yeah, that looks like a tunicate of some kind to me (though I couldn't tell you if the "eggs" as the base are actually eggs - sexual reproduction - or buds - asexual reproduction). So, yeah, very similar to the one in the link I shared above (though almost certainly a different species).
Edit: to add, tunicates are generally harmless filter feeders, and yours don't look like the invasive kind, so I'd say to keep them/don't worry about them.
