I am a new reefer and have had my tank for 6 days. I started cycling it with half live rock half dry rock, after two days I added a clown per my local fish store, he is doing great. About 4 days in I noticed this growing on my live rock but none of the pictures I see look like it. Over the last two days it hasn't really grown much. Any help is appreciated!

I believe it's all the same thing but what I noticed right off the bat is the tube shaped stuff and then there are many that are kind of spiraled up in a circle too.
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I agree that the picture looks pretty busy - I do see what looks like it might be vermetid snail tubes though, which most would say to remove (assuming there are live vermetids in them, that is).
