keep an eye on it for a couple of seconds - do you notice if it puts each tentacle into a 'mouth' then pulls it back out and sticks it in the air again... ? ? if so it may be a small filter feeding cuke... could be some sorta worm though...

I have some of that on a piece of live rock in my 20g too! I have no idea what it is. The first time i noticed it i thought it was a piece of hair from my dog that somehow magically got in there but then i took a closer look at it and noticed it wasnt at all. It's a frosty color and completly still but it splits out it different directions. Does anyone else know what this is?

If it does not move, I would say it is a foraminiferan. There is a pink version called Homotrema, but invertebrate zoologist Dr. Ron Shimek describes this in an article on forams (google foraminiferans Ronald Shimek
There are similar white foraminiferan species found in aquaria. Their bodies look like small "spiky" versions of a stony coral, rather like nano-sized versions of bird's nest coral, Seriatopora hystrix. These foraminiferans have not been identified to species.
