It looks like break material to me in the last pic. odd, screwed up, stringy break material.

The white stuff looks like mold to me. I would rack that into a different fermenter or ride it out till it is done.

NOTHING THAT CAN HARM YOU CAN LIVE IN BEER.
 
NOTHING.
Sweet christ, can't you people just let your fermentation do its thing? As much as I love my carboys I am beginning to think all newbs should be required to ferment in buckets so every little thing cannot be seen and made into something it is not.

Update

Well nothing seems to being growing any bigger and i dont see anything eles going on im thinking about racking it to a new carboy and see if anything grows back in the 2 weeks i really wanted to leave it on the yeast cake but, i dont i would like to see what happens in a clean carboy what dose HBT think?

im more concerned about the white stuff forming on top of the beer
 
I thought the bottom picture was aiptasia but unless you have the salinity close to sea water I doubt it. There are some "infections" or characteristics of young lambics that are described as "ropey" but I don't think this is the case.

The top pictures look like the start of a pellicle possible of wild yeast or mold. If you want to stop it you can kill everything with campden tables or some other chemical process and then repitch fresh yeast.

It could also be tiny bubbles from the yeast as it finishes up and it is actually nothing bad at all. Hard to tell from the pictures.

Can you put a light behind your beer and turn the flash off on your camera?
