I noticed these starting to grow on my LR.

If it's not moving, I'd say a type of calcerous sponge.

Some kind of calcareous worms I would guess. In any event, it doesn't look like anything to worry about.

So I added some red scarlet hermit crabs and they are making a feast of it. So if you don;t want it in your tank, here's a solution.
