I don't know what this is, but it looks really cool, so I hope it's nothing I have to get rid of. This particular piece of rock had what looked like a thin layer of purple cement draped on part of it, and the cement had tubes sticking out. As of this morning, I thought it was something that was just dead, but today it looks like little hands sticking out of the tubes with a neon green center. Anyone familiar with this? I'll see if I can get a picture posted.
 
sounds like a sea mat to me, i cant think of the name but there is a sea mat with a purple encrusting base...... maybe someone else will chime in as to the name... but they are a good thing :D

Maybe even some type of Encrusting Monti
 
Sounds like coralline algae with some tube worms/feather dusters growing out of the rock. Really need pics to give a good ID though. But if it is what I said, yes, good to have.

Side note.. like your "title". War Games fan? I pick.. Global Thermonuclear War. ;)

My thoughts too....
 
Hard to say without a pic, but it sounds like it could also be a small patch of green star polyps. But, I think coralline algae and tube worms is probably more likely.
 
I still haven't gotten my fiance to take pictures of these things... but as it turns out we found some at our lfs. They happen to be green star polyps - Happy me! Fsn77, you are the winner of this blind challenge :)
