hitchhiker coral

This coral in the lower right just started growin on my rock. Looks like some kind of SPS... Any ideas? Note the astrea snail in the upper left for size comparison.

Thanks-
John

I am not an expert by any means (especially when it comes to SPS). I first thought is it is some type of incrusting Montipora.

I believe it was Fiji. Got it from Premium Aquatics. It started out as a little brown spot but then polyps came out and the lumps started forming. How Fun!

Might be some sort of porites, here's a picture I found on the net. The pulp spacing is a little far for montipora digiitata.
