Coral id? (odd almost 2D coral)

What is this coral?
A couple months ago I purchased a rock with some tonga mushrooms on it. Then, about two - three weeks later this coral started growing



It is a softie and a current pic (grew from nothing to this in about four weeks; actual size is about two in around and an inch high).
I have put this other places and have only gotten three responses.

So, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

Have you tried to post this in the Micro algae form?

Try Calfo's form.

Looks like a macro algae to me. Grew too fast for a coral.

Looks like Dichtyota Macro algae to me, but it could be anything. I agree with the others, ask Mr. Calfo.

I know he has a fox face, flame angel, orange fin tag, yellowhead jawfish and a few other nippers in the tank but they do not touch this piece pictured. It came of tonga rock if I remember right.
