Can anyone I.D. these? Little pink blobs with white spots

Can you remove them with a brush? It kind of looks like Cyanobacteria IMO.

I've got something similar... they look like little pink crowns... and are hard... lfs said maybe a type of sponge

Picture isn't the best..
See Corynactis (Strawberry Anemone) here
https://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhikers-guide/

Is that what you have?
If so they are harmless...

This sounds more like Foraminiferans. (harmless)

The one on the right is a Strawberry Anemone. Not sure about the rest. Possibly Foraminiferans or small patches of Coralline algae.
