I have those too. They are a sponge but I haven't been able to ID them exactly. They are harmless and, if they are the same as the ones I have, they go through some cool morphological changes as they mature. Keep 'em!

Here's a few more pics of the same thing. FINALLY had success with googling the camera macro online and got some tips. I wanted to ask about the little "grove" in the middle of the larger one too. The original pic didn't show it well at all but these ones do. Anyone know what they are? Another type of tube worm?
   And then there is this yellow "stuff". We are getting more and more of it. Should we be concerned? Been googling with no luck on it either.  These are a little cluster of our tube worms. We already know what they are but I took a pic just because I finally had the camera settings figured out. We like 'em.

ETA: Oops, my bad. I didn't see the pics on the second page
 glad they were ID'ed though!Deanna I believe that these are from the tunicate family. I have similar looking ones in my tank that came on my live rock. They were almost transparent with a bright greenish yellow ring around the top. They seem to come and go. I had no idea what they were until I saw a pic of them from another web site. Search on google images and you can see some of the many different types there are. Deanna

I would now say they are ball spunges and there looks to be 3 peanut worms in one of the pic #2 or could be small polups the wild ones. The yellow stuff is eithere spunge or coriline algae. coriline algae is not always purple there is a gray, skin color, red, orange , green and yellow by the looks of yours. All good. Purple coriline algae comes in different types the standard and plating. The purple is what most hobbiest want as it is nice but I like a veriety with mostly purple. sponges come in all colors black, purple, blue, orange, yellow, red, white, green and pink. I do like ball spunges as they change as they get older.

Found a couple more of these things. I apologize, the first pic is not the greatest (it's in a cave) and I had to use a flashlight making them more yellow than they actually are. The second one is quite different than the others in my tank. The original ones that I posted before all look the same, they haven't changed a bit.
