Default yellow foam

I have what appears to be yellow foam on my rocks. The foam is not like the head on a beer but more like foam from a couch cusion. It also has like thready stuff growing from it it . Sponge? Good or bad?

It's a sponge. They usually grow on the undersides of rock so they aren't directly under the light, but sometimes they will grow and the topsides as well. It's a good thing.

When we do our first water change should we suck them out or just leave them?
