Looks like some sort of sponge.

I think it looks like a coral. Unsure of what kind though. :?

It just randomly grew in my tank... so if it is a coral it is the coolest coral ever!

It is neat. Is it really that white and bright pink underneath? Or is some of that just from the flash? I know with my camera, sometimes the colors get distorted. I hope someone else comes along who can ID it for you.

It is really those colors. I am amazed by it. I have been trying to get an id on it for about a month now.
It started growing and I took some photos but they didnt come out very well. I posted them here and on reefcentral and nobody could see through the photo... http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=47624 Here is the other photo.

Now months have passed and I wanted to see if anyone could maybe give it an id at this point. Here are the new photos.
It has gotten huge. I would compare the lenght to a dollar bill and the height to half of a dollar bill. The color has changed slightly, more pink and less white. There is still white around the edges, but not in the center. The center is always filling up with gunk from food and waste. I have to blow it out every now and again.

it keeps getting cooler. Does it seem to have polyps? Does it move or react to touch? Does it react to light?

No, no, and no. I just sits there. It feels waxy. Like it is kinda flexible like warm wax, but its got this texture that is way cool. It has bumps and and smooth areas, you can kinda see them in the photo.
Do you see my emerald crab under it on the top photo, right side? That crab is tiny! He is only about the size of a dime. The rate of growth on this thing is petty high, its only been there for about six or seven months.

maybe some kind of Macro algae? Thats my only real guess. Could be some kind of sponge but I doubt it.
