White Creatures in sump and skimmer...

I was adding fresh water to my sump and I noticed these tiny white things. They kinda remind me of tiny anemones. They are about 3-7 mm long and I can only find them in the sump and skimmer under the main tank.

Little filter feeding spongey things. I have some in my tank. They have never harmed anything and go away and appear of their own accord.

I have lots of those in my sump as well. They don't harm anything. Some can get quite large.

I know I am a little slow with my thanks, but THANKS!!! They seem to be multiplying, but I will not worry about them.
