Noticed one of the heads on my torches closes up intermittently through the day. Saw these on the side tonight. Anything to worry about?

Are you referring to the whiter spots?
 
Are those purple spots hard like coralline algae? Or soft like sponges? I don’t think either would be issues.

The purple bits have little tentacles on them. And im really not familiar enough with torches to know how far the flesh should be.
