ok. I turned my lights off after removing my cbs trying to see if any worms are left. I will and try again soon to take a photo.
It is very very strange. I felt it and it is quite squishy.

Its either a sponge or a half dead soft coral. Try getting some decent lights on it and see if it recovers. It still has some color to it.....

Looks like something hurting to me as well.....I have had a bunch of "encrusting sponges" and that doesn't really look like any. I could almost always see the water canals quite easily...looked like veins....I basically have no guess, but it seems there is physical damage like something was dead or ripped off on the lower right?? I really have no idea actually......sorry.

Better photo coming tonight!
The burple / bluish "things" are like a finger and are doing good but the back of it looked like that when I got it, Actually it looked like little grains of rice. Very Tiny! One of the fingers partially died and it was made of the small rice also. I think maybe when I got the rock it was "torn" from another and thats why it looks like crap in the back?
There are little holes on the fingers if you can see them. Well I will take more photos when I get home and Thanks again Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
