Im not sure what it is? Is it good or bad? It doesn't bother me that much Im just afraid that it can take over my tank. So far it is in 4,5 pieces of live rock. First pick was made couple months ago. I tried to remove it,cut manually and it helped. Now I see more small ones on few rocks. What is it? Should I worry about it? Thanks in advance.

The first looks like a red macro algae, I want to say dragon's breath. Live-plants.com is a good quick source for checking into macro algae for ID.
The next two could be mushrooms or more macro algae...though it appears to be the same cotton candy algae that I'm battling in my tank. That stuff is a nuisance and feeds of the smallest amount of nitrate/phosphate.
The final picture, I'm not sure what you are looking to ID as there is so much there.
 
All those picks are about the same staff just in different looks. I had Yellow Tang in my QT for 4 weeks after I put him in my 125 Reef Tank in 2 days all was gone. Im really happy. :) Maybe that will help to ID this …
