Re: ID plz..
I'm not sure but it's probably a sponge of some sort, there are too many for me to ID it since I'm not an expert. But I'm pretty sure it's harmless and you don't have to worry about it. Looks pretty cool though but more than likely one of your fish will eat it, depending on your fish of course!
 Check this link, it might help: Aquarium Invertebrates

Re: ID plz..
It is not an invert, it is algae.
 Could be Botryocladia sp. but I'm not sure.

Re: ID plz..
Really! I never would have guessed it was algae
 What a cool algae it is though, is it invasive? I want some!

 It is just as invasive as the green bubble algae, Ventricaria ventricosa.

Re: ID plz..
Sashi,
If you are moving, you should try to clean off all of the nuisance algae from the live rock before putting it back in the tank. Good luck!
