I also want to know what this is, I have it on my live rock as well. It's not hydroids, doesn't bother any corals, it seems to be In the dark areas of the tank. Anyone know?

It's also not bryopsis, or if it is it's very easy to get rid of as it scraps off and never comes back.

I don't think it's bryopsis because it's white and has a different structure from pictures I've looked at
