got ethical husbandry?

ID help please :)

Well i was looking at my tank today. I noticed lots of little white balls with a fan on the end of it. I already tried poking them to see if they were apitasa lol. But im just lost at what it might be, I found some info on RC that suggested it might be Siliceous sponge, but when I googled that word it wasnt it. So heres a quick picture of it and this is the closes I could get the camera too it. Also the second picture shows how my pod population is growing :)
Thank for your help

Second one is an isopod. Harmless and food for other stuff.
 
I had a bunch of pineapple sponges in my tank and they just disappeared one day. Didn't last for more than 2 weeks.

Also have a bunch of those isopods (munnid) and my mandarin keeps them under control. :)

+1 I remember having those at first, and I thought I still had them... just checked, I don't see any!
 
More common in newer tanks with a more diverse bacteria colonies IME
