guys i've got some stuff that looks like white spider webs on my live rock, some of the webbing has a hole in the middle. In some spots it looks like a puff of cotton..

any ideas?

Many wrasses have a mucus coccoon that is supposed to hide their scent so that predator would not even know the sleeping fish is there. Sometimes you'll see this cocoon floating around and getting stuck to stuff. It looks kind of like spider webs. :)
