Happy Father’s Day all quick help on the I.D of these would be a great help! The smaller ones look like pineapples sponges not sure what the big one is.

Sure is. Can be from new rock, new sand, from tap water if used and expired or leaking Di Resin cartridges.
These are short lived and will dissipate as silicates reduce. You can peel them off with the edge of a credit card into a net if they are too many
They are not harmful and cherish algae if they get any

Somewhat but condition are likely favorable and they like darker/shaded areas
