It’s perfectly flat and can just about see colouration of rock through it

If I put high lumen flash light on it, it kind of looks crusty
 
I'd need a better pic to try an ID, if it's a coral at all. Maybe a leptastrea.
 
Hard to the touch tried rubbing and not shifted it

I’m thinking sponge, or maybe some type of algae.
It looks fuzzy the way a sponge should be. Most likely harmless.
Probably not a coral (unless it glows in blues?).
not all corals glow in blue. some sponges and things glow in blue also.
 
Can see it in a couple of other places just a lot smaller…. The one in the picture has a diameter of 15mm… thought coralline state small
