Unidentified Coral

We think it hitched a ride on a live rock we bought yesterday, we have watched it moved about 3 inches on the current rock it is on. Can anyone help identify it?

thanks! googled it and it looks invasive...we have a very young tank already growing coral frags and young fish. should we pluck this hitch hiker out?

and is that red bubble stuff just algae? also came on rock, "tank guy at store" said it was alright

inject it with calcium to kill it... get rid of it or itll could take over your tank

Red bubble algae isnt good. It spreads like wildfire and when a bubble gets ruptured, it sends spores into the water column and they grow everywhere. I would take that rock out and let it sit in the sun for a few days or boil it and than put it back in.
