I just noticed the below white tubes that formed at the bottom of one of the rocks. The holes are 1/3” in diameter. One is a shot that is head on. The other one is a side view. I realize the pictures are blurry but that is the best I could do with my phone.

Anything to worry about?

Blurred and pixelated pix, but my first guess would be sponges, my fifth guess would be tunicates.
 
Thanks. I do apologize for the pic quality - they were so deep in the tank that I had to blow up the image a lot to make them visible.

I researched tubular sponges based on your reply and they seem to fit. I guess I won’t worry any further about them - and good to see something other than algae pop up for a change. I guess the tank is beginning to mature.
