I see some diatoms and few worms tubes but overall nothing to be concerned about. maybe even have sponges growing on there.

How long has it been in there? Slowly you'll start seeing things in your tank that could only have come from the rock. It's really fun to watch rock.

its been about 3 weeks, theres nothing else in the tank with it right now because im actually gonna be moving the tank soon to a new location so i can expand the setup, so i didnt want to add any live stock to it an stress them out, but i know during the move to have them in the containers with the water an power head, its only gonna be out of the tank for about an hour while i set it all up so it shouldnt be bad

that wont be a big deal. I do know however there is more in there than you think there is LOL take alook at night with a flashlight that has a red filter on it and you will see a ton of things in there.

I think those are rocks.

Little sponges and other things that will grow on live rock. You're fine.
