Look like Qtip sponges to me... they are harmless.

There is anything I can do to remove them? or is anything that will eat them? The more I clean them the more they reproduce.

they are filter feeders. they are fine.

But, they are taking over the tank.
It is kind of annoying.
there is anything i can do to get rid of them?

they will go away as the tank balances. A bunch of new live rock threw off the balance and the sponges showed up to filter that out. They will shrink and go a way.
I had the same sponges everywhere. Now I only have a few.
