Live Rock - Have you seen these?

[Seek&Reef]

Before anyone says anything, just know I am only trying to learn. I am genuinely curious as to what these are. I have found so many cool things on this rock. If you have never ordered aquacultured ocean rock I highly suggest it. Look at every inch of the rock with a magnifying glass. It will blow your mind. One of the coolest things I have ever done for sure.

PIC 1: The red patch with white dots. Hard like coralline.​

Pic 2: The fuzzy white branches covering a large area. Looks like it ate away at the rock almost. Super cool to see in person.​

Pic 3: Weird toothbrush looking bumps.​

Pic 4: The red Macro Algae​

I have that red patch in some of my live rock too. I’m not sure what it is though

The white, I believe is a type of calcerous algae growth or possibly coral skeleton from what makes up the rock (again I have some too, not 1000% sure)

The “toothbrush bumps” appear to be a coral of some sort. They are stationary correct?

The red macro not sure but hopefully someone can give you a better answer. May need to grow some to get a positive id

Figured out this is a “scale worm” if anyone stumbles upon this in the future trying to ID an armor looking worm lol
