My tank is only a few months old. In the last 2 weeks, I have discovered several little white powder puff balls on some of my rocks. They are tiny and look like a round puff of cotton. What are these? Should I remove them?

Any pictures? Could be any number of things, from sponges to water molds.

They are most likely tunicates and are completely harmless. Do they look like this?

Yes, Thats what they look like. If I wanted to get rid of them (if they become a problem (I only about 4 now), how would I do that? Can I pick them off with tweezers?
