Some kind of fungus or algae. If it's in strands, almost like hair underwater, it's most likely green algae, and you have nothing to worry about. Try using a dechlorinator, because they usually get rid of substances that cause the algae to grow. Also, clean the water more often.

Probably algae, maybe a form of shell rot. Try this link to see if you can find it: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/emergencies.htm

Yes this is very normal if you want try rubbing it off with a very soft toothbrush... This is normal so you dont have to worry.
