I saw this growing on my rock and I am worried about what this could be. What do you think it is?

Looks to me like it's just a little filter feeding worm. They pop up from time to time and supposedly mark a happy tank.

Not even sure what were looking at. Looks like a snail/crab shell and some coraline.

If you are talking about the small green stalks, it looks like it may be a type of macro algae.
