White creature in my refugium

I noticed this white fuzzy worm/creature in my refugium and now it is in my sump. It is spreading really quickly. It is not in my tank at all (that I can see). What is this creature and do I need to worry? I think that my six line wrasse is taking care of any that get into the main tank.

Pineapple sponge.

Yep, pineapple sponge. Nothing to worry about - they will die down as silicate levels drop in your tank.

Thanks for the info. Glad to see that they aren't a real problem.
