I don’t know if you can tell, but I have these white little wavy things growing out of my rock and I started with dead dry rock that I had laying around so I have no idea where they came from but does anybody know what they are?

If it moves on its own (not cuz of.flow) 2 things come to mind, if smooth tentacles, tube worms (I believe that's what they are called) if spikes spinning worms and can sting coral. If it's just flowing might be dead algae

It almost looks like a jellyfish cause it has tentacles, but I turned off my wave maker, and there was little to no movement on them

Look close and see of they are smooth or look like they have a spike ball on the end
The only thing I noticed is just wavy tentacles they’re very very small so it’s hard to tell they almost look like a white microscopic version of a zoanthid

“Shannon16 Marine Led Aquarium Light Full Spectrum Reef Coral Saltwater Fish Tank” it’s the white dot underneath the coral in that little hole

Please post a you tube video of at least 25 seconds under white lighting and assure glass is clear. Can be hydroid jelly fish or hydrozoa but extremely hard to see and confirm

Better video maybe someone else will chime in. I still think aiptasia. There are things on the market that may kill them F-aiptasia is one. Some say peppermint shrimp will do the job. They didnt do anything in my tank except irritate my lps. Some fish will eat them hit or miss with these guys too file fish, copper band butterfly. Berghia nudis work if you can find them. They will die when aiptasia is gone or they crawl into a power head. Hoping for a spionid worm diagnosis for you, thats my other guess.
