well if they are indeed the worms, then it doesnt mean that the worms are gone. Its just the mucusy strand that they use to trap food. They may re-apear. But they may not, its hard to tell because we dont knwo what they are

mine are like hairlike stuff bunched up like a hairball kindof and they're white. i doubt it would be left over flesh this rock is a few months old, it would have been decayed by now.

I have no idea...sorry, but here is what I do know. If you look real close the "hairs" come in pairs, which lead me to believe they are antennas or something like it, also the retract when you touch them, as shown in the second pic. I've had them on this particular piece of rock since my tanks been established and they haven't hurt anything nor have they spread...
I recently put a ricordia on this exact rock and it's doing very well, so what ever they are, they aren't harmful...
