Coral ID

[LeviT]

Oddly enough this was in a deli container labeled undata.

I was pretty sure it was a joke once I got it home but I figured I'd see how it grew out. Immediately I noticed that there was some purple slime growing on it so I whipped out the dremel and tried to clean it up but silly me shattered it by mistake (cut it too thin). I figured it still had a chance so I gently glued the pieces on a plug and put it in the tank. Well it's feeding well and the flesh has began to cover the plug and new polyps have formed so I figured I'd try and get a positive ID. Any ideas?
