Live Rock Growth

I have Noticed what appears to be plant life growing out of a piece of live rock that has been in the tank for about a month and a half... any idea's what it might be?

Looks like a type of hydroid.

Can you get a shot of them without your pumps on?

hmm, either the dreaded aipstasia or some faded Parazoanthus Gracilis? Pic kinda fuzzy.

Seems to be an Aipstasia.

Color and even shape doesn't look like aiptasia.
Hydroid seems much more likely.
