Should I be worried about these or are they just filter feeders?

Pineapple sponges. Harmless filter-feeders. Explode in population in new tanks, then fade away to more reasonable numbers.
+1. The leftmost hitchhiker in the first image looks different though (less fuzzy, more squishy).
@kbnh do you have any more pictures of this hitchhiker?
 
Oh, yeah, that does look a little odd. Given the context (surrounded by pineapple sponges and spirobids), I'd be inclined to say it's probably a chunk of some other species of sponge.
 
Couldn’t get a decent picture but it just seems to be a pineapple sponge stuck to the glass on its side
