Pineapple sponges. They're fine. I remove mine with water changes, if they grow where I don't want them.
 
All over bottom of rocks. And they got into my zoas? Is that usual too? Is there any cause for them

I wouldn't worry about it. Your tank just has extra nutrients for them to filter right now. Sometimes they can definitely climb in numbers and the only thing to really do is manually remove them and pick up the tank maintenance a bit... like removing detritus and water changes.
 
I would leave them alone. Sponges are normally a good thing to have in your tank, they will help filter the water and uptake silicates.
