Hello, trying to find out what are these white blobs around my acan, I think I saw one in the overflow, the tips look like feather duster - ish

Those look like they're probably pineapple sponges.

Also, just because I'm being picky, those aren't called Acans anymore - they're Micromussa Lordhowensis instead of Acan Lordhowensis.
 
If you’re finding them in your overflow then I’d second a pineapple sponge. Now you need a Patrick and a plankton.

Pineapple sponges are harmless and an excellent filter feeder.
 
Pineapple sponges are also a good sign your tank is maturing in the right direction!
