What are these?

This is a piece of LR that I moved over from my current tank to help seed the new rock during cycling and last night I noticed these two neon green blobs on it. The tank is just starting it's cycle and there is nothing in the tank. They almost look pieces of my frogspawn from the other tank, but could they be and would they attach to something?

nice rock. Could be hitchiker corals or macroalgae sprouts. I had a pice of rock that came with a little spot like that and it eventually turned into a huge torch coral colony.

Look like a sponge tough to tell. I have sponges that look like that though.

Yep, looks exactly like bright yellow sponges I have all over my live rock. Harmless and cool looking things.

That would be sweet, problem is, the tank is cycling so I wonder if they will survive until it is complete.
