    looks like a small plate coral to me

    I am asuming you are asking about the purple colored one centered in the pic

    if not the other pally is texas trash from the looks of it
    I have been reefing from 08-2007 till 5-2011

    Yeah looks like a plate/fungia. I would definitely keep that one to see what it becomes. The purple/pink is intriguing.

    Is that a newer piece of rock?

    I thought at first that it might be a baby plate coral,but there is no skeleten.It shrinks up like a anemone when it eats and the body/stem stretches and contracts between light cycles.It came on a new piece of indo live rock two weeks ago.It's about 1 inch in diameter and the tenticles are double the length shown in picture.Right now its in a low flow spot in my tank for acclimation(hence the algae on rock,cleaning crew's on it!)
