I recently noticed some clear tubes growing from my bedding any idea what they are? Do I need to remove them or are they safe to keep?

Looks like harmless filterfeeding sponges to me. Maybe tunicates but again harmless.

Adds needed diversity; good score
 
Think you may be right; just magnified picture and noticed that the tubes are connected together horizontally which is characteristic of tunicates.
 
Thanks for the help guys! looks like they will live to see another day!
