it is not ich on your live rock. could be sponge, copapods, algae, whatever it is, a better description and a picture will help and it it very likely good or not harmful.

Not necessarily. If it were ich (which I will bet good money it isn't), the ich goes through a cyst stage where the cyst is attached to the substrate. These are actually quite large and can be visible as white spots.

I can almost guarantee you it's not ich. I have a few ideas what it may be but, really, I need a pic to be able to say what it is without talking out my a$$.
