Random White Spongish Thingies? Bests, pests or Switzerland

[Clinton]

These sponge looking things pictured have randomly popped up in my tank. They're mostly in the overflow and I'm guessing just a byproduct of too many nutrients? I'm hoping someone with much more experience and knowledge can tell me what I'm looking at.

Thanks All!

Those are Ok! They are just a little filter feeding sponge. No worries.

They are called pineapple sponge and are filter feeders. Usually found in darker areas of a tank along with spirorbid worms.

There ended up not really being a cure. As filter feeders they just kind of go with the nutrients. Control nutrients control them.
