They sound like little tunicates or clear sponges. They are good for your aquarium and are filter feeders. Pics would be helpful though.

Assuming they are tunicates or sponges I would just leave them as they are beneficial filter feeders. I would only wipe them off of the front glass so that they don't get in the way of your viewing window.
