    Wow. Alien would be my guess. I really don't know. That is some strange stuff right there. If a crab like creature shoots out of it, make sure it does not attach to your face.
    I agree, last pic is a massive bubble algae. Remove the rock, and manually remove the piece in a separate bucket if possible.

    wow. That stuff is scary. Im having second thoughts about starting a reef now. lol.

    Also looks strangely rude. Almost as if it is aroused. You haven't introduced any lady bubble corals recently have you? :D lol

    Yeah, that bubble coral is doing a weird thing there.

    As long as it seems healthy besides that "thing" I would not worry. LPS do some strange things from time to time.

    May I suggest sending a pic to wetwebmedia.com? They're usually pretty good at these guessing games!

    Or burst out of your stomach...

    Sorry, Guy! :( I have no idea what that alien thing is! I agree with everybody else on the bubble algae. My emerald crab can't even burst the bigger ones (I've seen it try, but no luck). If you can get a hold of it with some tongs or tweezers and twist it a bit, it should break loose and come out whole.
