This colony started out as what I thought was a bacterial slime bloom. After a few months I noticed that it was some type of sps. I thought it was a stylo since I have a pink stylo in the reef but now that it has grown out it’s obviously not a pink stylo and the shape of the colony is completely different if you compare it to the stylo for reference. The body is an off cream color and the polyps fluoresce green in blue light.

Here’s the stylo for reference

I too was thinking pocillipora. They do have that fuzzy look and probably the only “hitchhiker” SPS out there.
