I found this at my local fish store. It feels like a stony. It's Blueish purple. Grows out in a fan like pattern. I think it's Indonesian cause it came in on that shipment.

Quite possibly a Distichopora sp. Such a massive growth form with odd protrubances could very well be Distichopora irregularis.

Very difficult to feed genus.
 
It looks cool for sure. Is it under blue light only? Hard to see the color.
