I'm sure it's not aptasia. If you look closely, you can see the tube. 
ahh so that's the key? I had seen some drawings of aiptasia and they had 'stalks'.
I have a few items (tiny!) similar to what I captured in those pictures...
All are white and similar to that...
The pictured item is not photosensitive, but some of the little weblike things I have seen are. (Most of these little critters are in/on some tonga branch I got... lots of tiny holes for em to live in...hoping they spread!)

I visited 4 different pet stores in the atlanta area to gather all but about 20lbs of my rock (which I ordered from a diver...it's due here thursday).
The places I went to (in no particular order):
Aquarium Showcase - Alpharetta - not much in the way of live rock, but good knowledgable staff, more saltwater then anything - prices are high
Optimum Aquarium - Marietta (more northside) - Fiji, Tonga (chunks) and baserock - large(ish) selection of cured bulk rock - equal (and large) selection of salt/fresh water specimens - fair(ish) prices - only place I have found with macro algae for sale - expired test kits :/
Marine Reef and Fish Supplies (aka Marine and Tropical Fish) - Marietta (closer to town) - Nice selection of carribean rock with decent life (some macro algae and tube worms and such) as well as a good assortment of marshall and carribean rock fragments - more freshwater stock (fish) then salt but good selection anyhow - new frag tank (looks nice) - fair(ish) prices
The Fish Store and More - Peachtree rd in Buckhead - nice store - decent selection of fiji and a few lively tonga branch fragments - marine fish looked washed out somewhat (color loss) but the FW looked very healthy - more marine then fresh but a good selection all around.
Imagine Ocean - Really didn't care for this one..in canton.. Nice display tank, nice water distrib system in the place.. prices too high and lack of selection/poor looking specimens
Prolly TMI but hey..

thanks for the info.
