Hey!
You can find almost anything living on LR depending how long it's been out of the water. A lot of places ship LR packed in wet newspaper. Needless to say, if it's been that way for a while you wont find a lot on your LR besides some real hardy algae. If it's harvested and packed wet, you will find everything from corals to sponges ect. I've even heard stories of people putting LR in their tank and a day later there is a new fish in their tank! Anyway,to answer your question, you could find tubeworms, mushrooms, hard/soft corals, or just about anything on "good" LR.
Hope that helps,]

Agree with flydan,
Can go either way depending on the quality and handling of the live rock.
Good things I've seen grow out on the rock I purchased have been some cool featherdusters, various types of macroalgae, spaghetti tubeworms, red, purple and green coralline algae, bivalve mollusks, and a funky sponge that I removed.
That was the good rock.
I bought some rock that looked pretty good at first, but nothing ever really "grew" out of it. I moved it down lower in the tank and stacked the good stuff on top.
Also bubble algae can grow out and spread pretty fast. Some folks don't care for it - some do.

I agree you can get just about anything. Eggs, inverts, coals, ect. There are a few bad things like mantis shrimp though. Always a surprise to see what you will get.

I've had my live rock for about a little over a month....new stuff anyway and just last night I noticed a tiney little snail crawling on the back of my glass. Not even a 1/8 of in inch large.
