ID this sponge

Don't know where these yellow sponges came from they're sprouting up all over the tank.
Can anyone tell me what these are? It would be appreciated.

NICE!!! I love mine! I have two rather large colonies that popped up out of nowhere and they add such a great pop of yellow color to the tank. Congratulations!

Yeah. I don't mind them at all, and they definitely add something to the look and feel of the tank. Do you know exactly what they are? They seem very sponge-like...

Basically I don't think they can hurt the tank but the amount of them appearing almost overnight is surprising.
Nobody knows what these are?
