Hard to tell without a pic. Could be a sponge, vermetid snail or a spaghetti worm. If you have corals it could be slime, nematocysts or mesenterial filaments.

Looks like bleached coralline to me.
 
Thanks! Almost freaked me out the next morning once I saw that on my LR :D
 
Try wiping it away.. it could just be slime too.

Could be a dieing sponge as well. It's rather close to the yellow bits on the rock. Don't think it's coralline though, the texture doesn't look quite right.
