    I believe they are sponges. From what you describe they look like some that I've seen in my tanks. As far as I know they're fine.

    There's no need to remove them. But, if you just don't like the way they look then it's up to you if you wanna scrape them off the rock. It's not necessary though.

    They are great filters. Leave them unless they get out of hand!

    If it stays on the bottom of Rock or in the dark it should be cool, if it grows on top of your rock I would get rid of it as it will suffocate corals and cover everything.
