It does seem to be a colonial tunicate species - possibly Botryllus schlosseri (A.K.A. Golden Star Tunicates). Based on how it is spreading, it does seem like it may be invasive in your tank. Some people like to try and starve them out, but my guess is that manual removal will probably be your best bet if you want to try and control their spread.
