Bob,

Don't have a clue

I have found some similarities to a Pavona cactus coral, but I have not seen any reference to this color....
it is hard to the touch...

Are you talking about the purple thing with white patches of hair growing out of it? I have a couple of them in my tank, I have no idea what they are. Im interested too. Mine have gotten pretty big in the last 6 months.
