What are these tiny fluffy white things on my sump?

All of a sudden i have a bunch of small white oval shapped things everywhere in the sump. They have a cone looking thing on one end almost like a spore of some sort. Any idea what this is?

Sounds like either small white sponges or tunicates. They're both harmless and actually a sign that your system is fairly healthy. Pics would be helpful.
