Your pics are way too blurry to give you a positive ID. Try taking a few more...back up a bit so you can get the focus clear, then you can crop the image down.

Flatworms perhaps? The details are hard to see on the pictures.

It looks like they underneath the rock? Go ahead and turn that rock over and angle it for a better picture. I'm leaning towards some kind of palythoa polyps.
