What are these? Copapod Eggs maybe?

[Gridlock]

I've suddenly seen a large population of these all over the tank. Even in the sump, where i know there are many copapods. I added several bottles many months ago.

These little white eggs are soft to the touch.

To be honest, i have no idea.
Thoughts?

Yep, pineapple sponges.....I got those when my tank was about 4 or 5 months old. They eventually go away though. I miss them

Yeah as your tank matures they tend to deplete in numbers unfortunately

If you feed particle foods like reef roofs and/or reef frenzy; they will stick around.
