Id??

Can someone ID this.. I found it on some live rock and it started out really flat and pale yellowish tan color...Now it is more orange/red and starting to bubble up like it may start branching... Anyone know what it is? My only guess is some sort of porites maybe?

hmm am I the only one who guessed sponge? Even though it is completely unrelated it reminds me of brown wafer algae. Now brown wafer algae looks nothing like that, but it is a building algae with a completely unique texture.

Have you actually felt this? Hard or soft?

Hard- Possibly Porites
Soft- Sponge or Algae

I could be completely off base here...

Like I said, if it's hard, I'm wrong...

If it is a Porites that's very cool.
