Pineapple sponges

I have Pineapple sponges that float around my tank every so often are they fine to land on Corals and for the corals to eat if they get a hod of them?

I’ve never heard of pineapple sponges floating around the tank. Are you sure that it’s no amphipods? Pineapple sponges are not considered harmful though.

If you’re sure it’s pineapple sponges, they are completely harmless and a sign of tank health.

How do I get rid of pineapple sponges in my sump? Any inverts that eat them?

Don’t like the way they look. I like the other sponges though.

I'm my personal opinion the goal of a Reef tank should be to have as happy and healthy of an environment as possible for your critters. Not necessarily visual perfection... Pineapple sponges are good guys!
