Are these snail eggs and if so what type? I have 4 different clean-up crew snail types in my tank.

Googled snail eggs and can't find anything that looks like these. Some are 1/2" long. Thinking maybe something else. They are fixed. No movement. Touched one with a pointer and they are soft.
 
Pineapple sponge? Interesting. Must of came in on one of my LPS. They are multiplying rapidly. Thought they needed high phosphates? Mine have never been above .04
 
Pineapple sponge??
These are tunicates

These are pineapple sponge below. You have tunicates. Pineappl;e need silicates not phosphates.

If tunicates should remove them or keep them? Curios on how they got into my tank. Started with dry rock and only have LPS and Softies. 260 gallon tank 4 months running post cycle.
 
Don’t really see the siphon that well... in any case filter feeder, mostly thought of as benign, if they irritate the corals they can be manually removed.
 
I will look more closely tomorrow to see if can see a siphon. Lights are off. Thanks for the replies. I will leave them if they don't disturb my corals. Some are attached to there skeleton.

They can start as one and quickly colonize. generally harmless but can overtake the real estate in the tank
