It’s a Gorgonian covered in algae. I’d take it and put it in a container with tank water and gently clean the algae off it before putting it back in your tank. That algae will kill it if it isn’t already dying

That is a thin piece of live rock. It's toast.

No problem. If you see white when it comes to coral, it isn't a good thing. It is usually a skeleton in corals that build a calcium based skeleton or stress spots when it comes to soft corals.
