Can you post a better picture? It looks to me like a sponge which would be very beneficial. If you bump them do they retract or stay in place? Is any movement you see just caused by water motion or do you see them moving against the current?

yes, looks to me like sponge growth as well
easy way to tell, ... do they ever move and retract to where you can no longer see them? if they are always still and there all the time, definitely sponges

Definitely a type of sponge. Just pull it off.
