    i have the same in my tank, its some sort of red macro algae, it doesnt look like the start of cyano. Its pretty well stayed in check in my tank but not without closely monitering phosphates and lighting. Actually ended up looking kinda cool

    I don't know if you're referring to the white dots or the calcareous hollow worm body. If it's the former, they are either spirorbid worms, or sponges. It's hard to tell from the pics.
