There are two of these in my tank. They just appear a few days ago and They don't seem to be changing size. It looks like tiny white balls in spit. Maybe a sponge?

It’s sponge
Remove while it’s accessible or if you love the look, keep or place in sump

Looks like a sack of eggs to me!
I would assume it's one of those as well, however, it's worth noting that superglue tends to look like that when it dries underwater as well.
Can't tell you how many times I was all proud of my job attaching new frags to new plugs only to see giant white globs on them the next day.

To confirm, touch and see if it’s soft and spongy or hard

Sponge or jelly like feel but the little balls are basically impossible to crush in my fingers...just kinda flatten it out but still in its shape
Still thinking sponge- its like a tennis ball or small bean bag feel

I’m all in on Eggs. I have not seen a sponge with dense little beads in it. The sponges I have come across are rough to the touch and those eggs look slimy jelly silky smooth.

What are the inhabitants of the tank? I vote eggs, I have never seen a sponge like that in my life (and it would be really weird for a large organism like that to just appear overnight). I thought is some sort of snail egg case, could you give a list of livestock?
