ID some things?

hey guys, i have 4 things I'm curious about.

one is a white slimey algae i have on 2 rocks, and the other 2 are things i just dont know.

heres the white algae - fullsize high res picture.

the other thing is this? feather duster or something? not sure, i just noticed it today.

and the last thing, if anything.. this wierd abomination not far from the colorful things above
high res pic here

i have some algae issues at the moment, it was bad before i got the skimmer, things are settling down now, but i have no cuc to help clean it up, so its been slow going.

this clear white crap is scaring me though it also took over the backside of another rock. what the heck is it and how do i get rid of it?

it feels mushy, and i can scratch it off, but it doesn't come off as a solid piece.

another high res pic

u can see in that last pics on its on the backside of the tall pointy rock too, but while im at it, Im also curious what the little pointy things are on the rock to the right side in that picture aswell, is that stuff i should be plucking off? they are all over just that 1 rock.

thanks in advance guys!

White stuff in the first pic could possibly be bacterial goo from die-off in the LR or possibly sponge.
2nd pic for sure looks like a feather duster, very cool.
3rd pic sorry, don't have the slightest idea.

Yea after digging for pics all I got on the white goo is die off, so hopefully that's all it is. I cleaned it up today I'll see if it comes back.

I was fairly certain in they being feather duster so that's awesome.

The other 2 things I have no idea. I found 2 more similar to the 3rd pic today while doing water change N scrubbing.

I knocked off and suckEd up the things from pic 4 today aswell so well see how many come back.

Still looking for opinions on the other stuff though if anyone knows!

Thanks
