something on my lps

So I noticed some very small weird cone like things on my candy coral stalk and it seems tobe multiplying . can't get a pic its to small and my camera sux. I also noticed a couple on one of my echinophyllia the corals seem fine if anything they look better than ever. Any clues? Its kinda resembles how mushrooms grow on big trees best way I can think to explain. Had to use a magnifying glass to even get a good look enough to tell they are cone shaped.

There are parasitic snails that are cone shaped. I think they are white and I know they are very small. But I don't remember what they eat. Maybe its just clams. I can't recall.

These are more tan color and I've watched they don't move. These are also cone shaped with the wide end up like a funnel.

Could be tunicates of some sort - opening at the top?

Hard to tell they very small but looks like it .. but they don't seem to move at all.

Tunicates are narrow at the base where they are attached and wider at the top. They are harmess (as far as I am aware) and filter your water. They come is all shapes and colors.

Bill says that is what I have gowing in my sump and on the shaded areas of glass. I'm a dope and thought they were sponges. Tiny little things - have hundreds of them. Wish they ate nitrates. LOL
