I am a new reefer and have had my tank for 6 days. I started cycling it with half live rock half dry rock, after two days I added a clown per my local fish store, he is doing great. About 4 days in I noticed this growing on my live rock but none of the pictures I see look like it. Over the last two days it hasn't really grown much. Any help is appreciated!

I believe it's all the same thing but what I noticed right off the bat is the tube shaped stuff and then there are many that are kind of spiraled up in a circle too.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I agree that the picture looks pretty busy - I do see what looks like it might be vermetid snail tubes though, which most would say to remove (assuming there are live vermetids in them, that is).
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
