Got this in on a free empty snail shell at least a year ago and was just a tiny spec but now it's been full encrusted over the shell for a while and very hardy and won't die lol and just wondering what it is

Looks like a Galaxea astreata coral.

That's a lucky find.

Really are they good or just a regular everyday El cheapo coral

If it is a galaxea not a cheapo but lower end of coral prices. A sure way a telling if a galaxea is the extreme length of sweepers. They are deadly killers. Mine grew very fast and had sweepers over a foot long.

It's Galaxea; give it lots of room (or it'll make it's own). :)
