Might be a hydnophora.
What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!

From the pic it looks like it could be a dubcan too. I've seen them with smaller polyps in clumps like that and also the branching variety with huge polyps, that's what I have.

Hydnophora.  Don't let it get by any other coral.  It is Very strong.

Tileman is right, this coral will attack neighboring corals if they are too close. It can send out digestive tissue and it will dissolve the neighbor until nothing but the skeleton remains. It's actually a very cool defense.

That's why my dad gave me his whole piece it kept stinging his coral. Thanks for all the replys.
