That is my bet...an encrusting sponge!
As for the algae, their were probably excess nutrients in the pet shops tank where you got the live rock, or a lighting issue!
Tangs, snails, crabs etc. should help to keep it under wraps as well as good water conditions!

do they close when you/something touches them? More than one outlet? I might lean towards a tunicate (seasquirt) especially if this FL aquacultured LR
