Help me identify growth on rock.

[jgonier]

I have these three things that have been Slllooooowwwwwlllyyy growing on my rock. They started out as just very little nubs when I first got the rock (about 2 months ago) and now have gron to about 1" in diameter. Anyone have any ideas what they are. The are soft and velvety and are redish/maroon in color.
In all the pictures, I have placed the area of intrest in the uper right corners of the picture (kind of like picture-in-picture.

I think they are bigger forms of foraminiferans, as seen here, but you hafta scroll down to almost the bottum.
Deleted, bad monkey, bad,
These come in many colors, and some branch out.

I don't think these are it. They don't have hard shells like the site says. They are soft and fuzzy.

I'd say thats some type of soft coral, I have the same thing on my rocks.
