They got you it's bubble algae. What ever you do don't pop it or it will be all over your tank

No much you can do but keep an eye on your tank. If you see and bubble algae growing remove it as soon as possible but dont pop it. Popping it will allow it to further spread. A good way to remove it is to hold a siphon hose over it as your doing a waterchange and cut it off with an exacto knife or scalpel. It will instantly get sucked up. Also emerald crabs have been known to eat it.

If the lfs actually sold you that as a coral deliberately, they should be put out of business...
You can take it off with tweezers, just don't pop them, it was pretty easy for me. My emerald crab devoured bubble algae, that might be an option also.
Are you sure there isn't anything else on it?
