looks like a sponge to me, no real way to be absolutely sure.

Second one looks almost like the "slime" for lack of a better word that's often left behind when a coral or something similar dies. When you move the rock around, does it make a cloud in the water? If you're just cycling, it could be a sponge or something similar that died. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So, since the tank is cycling, It will all die off as expected correct?

Should I worry about this stuff in the picture?

No easy answer as to will they die off during the cycle....depends entirely on the tank conditions & any food sources.
If they don't, you might want to keep an eye on the second one -- it looks like an invasive species. The first ones look okay. HTH, -R |

IME sponges usually grow on the bottom of rocks or in the shade, not directly on top like the second one. If it were me i'd take it out and scrub it.
