Creatures in my Sump?

Ok, well today i peeked my head in my sump and noticed the walls and base was covered with these small Pineapple looking things.. They were whitish clear with what looked like 3 or 4 extentions coming out of the tops.. ( just like a pineapple ). In the bass there were black mites moving around under a layer of sediment.. needless to say everything in the sump was covered and some where pretty huge.. So obviously I took the sump appart and blasted everything out and soaked it in high concentrate of vinegar, then fresh water baked it for an hour with scalding hot h20 and then dried, refilled and re started.. these things were even in my skimmer which was a pain to clean out.. Thank god for that asm design of the top half opening up.. so what were those things? Seeing as how i had a case of flat worms on my tang could that have been the source?
