Any chance you could do a close up macro pic of the rock? Kind of looks like white sponges if it is there would be tubes at the end facing out. They can appear & grow quickly if the water has a high food content for filter feeding.

I saw a month on your post with coral?
Am I understanding this correctly?

Can you get a closer pic? There's no way to help answer your question with that pic.
