Sponge/algae ID please

Hey everyone I'm having some pretty weird growths on one of my rocks that has now spread to form another colony on the other side of the tank. It's translucent/white and looks like an encrusting sponge that has the shape of mountains.

Almost looks like scypha sponges, but hard to tell by the pics.
