From the website:

These are probably foraminiferans. These little creatures are basically shelled protozoans, one celled organisms (Subphylum: Sarcodina - the amoebas).

If the "tree" is soft and quickly pulls into a tube or the rock, it's a harmless featherduster.

If it's hard, more than likely a foram. They are harmless protista. Sadly, this linked article doesn't contain a picture of a foram in the body style you are pointing out, but there is a foram that looks like that. Foraminiferans by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

Thanks! sorry I over looked it but that is 2 people that sent me the same thing. thanks again and karma
