something is on my torch coral and I am not sure that is normal I am new to reef tanks/corals

its little bumps on the base of my torch corals. there is also 1 dead head (falled off a while ago it was dead when I got it) the other heads are doing fine I think. the last pic is the head that died awhile ago but something is on it also. (didn't take it out just incase it will be removed in a week or 2 just to make sure).

there is also a sponge or something growing in my live rock it looks like it has a bubble on the end of it. the pic isn't that great its really hard to see it but ill post it anyways looks almost like slim (don't think its algae)

The last pic I do not know. The rest of them however look like vermetid snail tubes. They aren't "bad" per se, but they do release snotty mucous webs that can irritate coral. You can easily get rid of them by gluing over the tube or snapping it off.
 
It's a dangerous spiral looking at the microscopic details in your tank.. usually leads me to panic and "treat" when I probably shouldn't

Also +1 to the vermatid
