Sponge?

While inspecting my tank the other day I notice some new members to the neighborhood. There are at least 12 of them and they measure 2 - 8mm. As far as I know they are only in the refugium, more precisely on the up flow side of the bubble trap.
I hope they are nothing but sponges...but I do not know what the early stages of Aptasia look like.
I have attached two photos of the only creature I could capture with my camera. The one pictured is about 4mm. The other photo I have circled the creatures to demostrate how wide spread they are...and no they do not more.
Whacha think?

Sycon ciliatum
Pineapple sponge or Q-tip sponge. Harmless filter feeder.

Totally agree with Spanko.....I just wanted to comment on the great pic of the sponge that you took....

Thanx for the compliment. I have been able to capture some pretty cool photos.
I was hoping they were sponges...hooray!! Thanx for your help.
