What are these critters??
OK, so the question is….What is this stuff and what are these guys  ??? ???.

On a number of dives well below the thermocline I’ve observed a white fluffy growth, almost cotton ball like in appearance.  It is most commonly seen attached to rocks.  Often surrounding this white growth are very tiny (pinhead sized) round, tan colored guys. These critters move around but seem to stay in the vicinity of the white growth.  I’m hoping at some point this summer to try and get a close up photo of one with my new camera ;D. 

So…..Can anybody help me out here and tell me about this?
