This thing has grown about an inch sine I posted the question of "what is it"....The weird thing is now the growth plate is growing downwards due to the water flow that is hitting it....Before it was straight out and now it has a slope in the new growth..What's kinda cool to is it is starting to grow around my anthelia polyps...Also there are 3-4 new plating growths on it as well...

These are attached to the top of the rock and some of them have been grown around by the coral as well....

My guess is a Hydnophora or Pavona...Kinda looks hairy like them. I am assuming its an SPS not LPS?

Psammocora sp or Leptoseris sp.....That's the same thing that Eric Borneman said.....The growth has been incredible since moving it, the new growth has started to grow downward. I think it is because of the water flow coming from the top down.....Does that sound reasonable?

I have one of these that came in as a hitchhiker as well, I've been looking over the corals of the world books to no avail...
