    I can't see it well enough still. However, I can still make an educated guess.

    If the "tree" is soft and quickly pulls into a tube or the rock, it's a harmless featherduster.

    If it's hard, more than likely a foram. They are harmless protista. Sadly, this linked article doesn't contain a picture of a foram in the body style you are pointing out, but there is a foram that looks like that. Foraminiferans by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

    Is not a feather duster, and it ain't aptasia, it looks more like a tiny tree, is sort of white but is really small, you can see it pretty good but the camra seems to get out of focus if I try to get a better pic, or closer; it is the little white thing that looks like a piece of lint
