I have these white/gray fuzzy eggs/tubes/cocoons within my rockwork. Mostly in the lower 1/3 of the rocks but quite deep in crevices. They are about 5 millimeter long and shaped like a piece of rice. I can't suck them out, if I can even reach one, I only manage to tear off the front, nothing comes out and nothing has hatched to this point.
I have, a six line wrasse, two clowns, a tailspot, a cardinal fish, 1 astrea snail, 2 nassarius snails, 1 turbo snail, 1 star astrea and several hermits.
My six line wrasse and I have eradicated all hitchhikers in this 6 month old tank.
Any idea what this could be?

Not all sponges are equal. Some may grow and smother coral. Just keep an eye to make sure they don't.

Pineapple sponges won't smother coral.
