Info on this would be helpful. I'm still a newbie, and I had the exact same white thing growing on my live rock when it was cycling. With peaks and drops in the cycle it died, but I'd still like to know what it was...maybe it'll come back?

pic 1 looks like a feather duster, does it ever close up when you get close to it? I have thousands of them growing on my rocks. Pic 2 looks like some kind of vemetid snails, but I dont know for sure.
