Looks like a frag of a Favid to me, let it grow out I am pretty sure it's an LPS.
 
Look at the "sparkly green" Favid type or Platygyra. Someone had a larger piece of LPS placed next to your zoanthids.

Green majano. Type of anemone (like aiptasia is a type of anemone). Slow grower, dosent grow big and dosent spread fast. Skirt may become bulbous like BTA. Don't anything that will eat it. Have to inject lime or something is you wanna kill it. Have never seen a tank taken over by them in any significant number.
 
I thought it looked like an lps, but I have remained silent because I didn't know for sure. The base seems to be encrusted onto the rock.
