pulled out rocks and some weird white things on inside, pics




I found these all over a few of my inner rocks. Before it was basically a rock pile from moving. We're aquascaping currently and glueing some rocks together. Not sure what these things are but a few rocks are covered while most don't have any at all. The rocks were right by my CL feed and it was the inner side of the rocks so I couldn't see it from the tank. Not sure if I should clean all off or not.

They're little white long oval shaped things, are a bit larger than pellet food but are pretty small.

Looks like tunicates. They're harmless filter feeders.
