what is this?

i have these that popped up all inside my refugium. they arent pods because when i poked one, it didnt move so im wondering if it's egg sacks or something from the amphipods/etc i have in the refugium. any idea what they are for sure? just hoping theyre fine and leave them alone if they're eggs of something beneficial. thanks!

Pineapple sponges? Little hard to tell in the photos, but have a look at this: http://public.fotki.com/justbcaws/fi...26_sponge.html
Had a pile of them in my tank shortly after it went up. My Emerald Crab ate them like cotton candy!
