Question

Can anyone ID this??


Hey guys this is my first post on this sight! hope someone can help me!

I found this growing off a small piece of LR in my tank. It started from nuthing.It's been there for about 3 months now, and is getting bigger and bigger! But i can't find out what it may be? It's brown on the outside, green in the middle, and it looks like a brain coral, but might not be? i have no idea?
here are 2 pics of it.






Thanks!

I had another piece that had a large area (about 5" by 7") of Green Favites brain coral! but i ended up trading in the piece.. really regreat it now though!

this rock was some of the nicest rock i have ever seen!!!
