I’ve asked before but didn’t get the correct answers after further investigation.

Also , any recommendation to get rid of these spiroid worms all over my rocks ? Or do I just start with new dry rock in next tank to avoid

sponges. as far as how to get rid of spiroid worms, i am unsure. i just ignore them as they're part of the ecosystem, i guess.

The white things are some kind of sponge - I’m not sure what kind, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you can’t get a positive Id beyond that (for many sponges, sponge ID can be pretty much impossible without DNA testing and/or microscopic photos unless there’s something super distinctive about the sponge).

I haven’t really looked into how to get rid of spirorbid worms either, so I’m afraid I’m no help there.

Another vote for sponge. All part of the tank and unless it’s irritating corals, sponges are generally not a problem.
I just let my spirobids be usually, never gotten to plague proportions in my tank. Maybe bumblebee snails eat them?

Wish there was a critter that ate the shells lol , all over my system and rocks.

the sponge doesn’t bother the tank I think, but there is definitely a lot of them
