I have this white hair like organism growing on the live rock in my reef aquarium. It grows only in areas of darkness, i.e. the undersides of the rocks. Also, since it is white / transparent, I presume it has no chlorophyll and therefore not an algae. The strands are about 1-2cm long. Is this a fungus? If so, what kind?
