It is probably bacteria biofilm or some die-off. You can gently brush them off using a tooth brush.

Is it okay if i just leave them in the tank? Will it cause any harm to fishes or corals in the future?

This is very common in new tank, for the next stage, you will liking encounter hair algae, diatom etc. Some reefers prefer to leave them alone but for me, I prefer to brush them and let my filtration system export out.

Those that advocate leaving them alone feels that brushing them may lead to spreading to other parts of the tank.

I have tried different ways and find that brushing them away works better for me.

It's your call. ;)
