Is it soft or hard/calcified?

It is soft, and sways in the current. Also is very fuzzy looking like cotton.

 

[aquanooby]

curious what these couple things might be...

and

these little green deals they are tiny so I am sorry for the blur
and this thing in the upper center in the hole

 

[aquanooby]

I also think I have a feather duster but its smallin strong current

 

[SushiGirl]

2nd pic are featherdusters.
3rd is halimeda algae & some other algae thing I think, I've had them in my tanks & never seen them grow.
No idea on the first pic, not sure where the 2nd item you're wanting identified even is.

 

[aquanooby]

the round thing in the center of the picture solid center feathery outer rim

Yes, I see that one, don't see the 2nd object in that pic you want identified. You said there were a couple in that pic. I'd have to see a closer pic of that one to tell, it appears to be some kind of anemone or pseudocorynactis.

 

[aquanooby]

oops I worded it wrong lol just the one item in first pic the couple other things were the other pics

 

[Barro777]

Is this gorilla?

 

[SushiGirl]

Too far away for me to tell on my phone.

Probably a White Foraminiferan. Here's a picture of a row of them (along with Valonia/Bubble Algae and a little Cyanobacteria).

It's a harmless filter feeder.

 

[GaryLCrouch]

It looks more long and string like. those are thicker and all the same size. this has many different sizes stretching out. Ill have to show a pic.
