Hmmm... then they're terribly bleached. I think I do see a mouth on one of them.

Re: Whats on my rock?
I had simular on my lR the lfs guy tolled they were sponges. Same description as you they look like little.mushrooms grouped together and there seems to be an opening for a mouth.
My lr was kept under a light in store all be it not very powerful one. One of these "sponges" is vivid yellow but the rest are all milky white and spreadin like mad
