This cute little hitchhiker, on my Vanuatu rock, has about doubled in size in the past four months since I first spotted it. It's nearly one inch across now. Does it look familiar to anyone?

Thanks
 
That is cool. I have no idea what it is. I looks like it encrusts like a monti, but the polyps look large enough to be some sort of LPS. Not sure.
 
Looks like leptastrea to me

I'm probably wrong though, on closer look, the tentacles don't look right.
