One of many other different kinds of things found growing on KP aquatics live rock after about 6 months.

Now that I’m feeding my corals heavily, I see more and more of these kinds of likely filter feeders.
 
Acetabularium, or something like that.

I had those on Carribean live rock and they would sprout when the nutrients went up. Otherwise harmless although I have heard of infestations, again due to nutrient-rich conditions in the tank.

Oh how I think my Powder Blue Tang would love your rock

Ha! If you were local, I wouldn’t mind lending your powder blue tang the rock. (or hosting him for a few days)
 
Update: after a week, it looks like it withered a lot. :( I think if may be due to the fact that I shifted my lights a bit (moved from 6" above the tank to 12"), and/or that I haven't fed the corals in a few days.
