I'm not 100% positive, but i believe those are a form of coralline algea. They are totally harmless, like Pete said, and I think they look pretty cool! I've got quite a few myself! Very slow growers, usually.
 
Pete yes they are kind of like that but a couple of them have bits coming out which I thought may of been small tenicles but the more I look the don't move or retract.
Cool slug btw

Thank you and yeah just keep an eye on it an maybe someone else can chime in too
 
It looks similar to what I posted. I think maybe a foram. If so they are harmless and are like a simple coral. I had some hh on my live rock. I could be wrong but that is best I could find on google.

Try googling this and see if it looks like it: Homotrema rubrum
 
Hi Oscar

You have nailed it I googled it and it defiantly that.

Thanks

Lee


Glad I could help. I just ran across it myself yesterday so it was fresh in my mind. I'm working on a 40 breeder setup and my live rock had some.
