I woke up this morning and noticed a white foam looking substance on my heater, is this a sponge? Should I leave it on there? It is about the size of a quarter, and porous. It was not there last night.

without a pic I would have to agree with Mike. Heck, with a pic I would probably end up agreeing too. The Q-tip sponges are pretty common.
 
Is this a Q-tip sponge? If so, can I leave it on the heater?

"is it moving."

Well, since I first noticed it this morning, it does not seem to be moving. Any other ideas? Is it an egg sack, or something along those lines? It's actually much whiter than it appears in this photo under a good LED flashlight.
