Blue hard coral Hitchiker Update Transformation Unreal !

Update at Bottom of Post
Came in as a hitchiker on a rock with another coral on it.
It is hard, not fleshy tissue, blue and grey at the moment, spikey edges.
Anyone have an idea of what it is?

Look up cynarina.

has a costea-septa, cannot be a plate, has to be favidae

ok I added a larger pic, maybe this can help more
lots of different opinions
thanks

i would say scolly as well. it is an LPS not a SPS

 

[wicked demon]

ya, scolly, or cynarina, def LPS, maybe even an echino with really symetrical growth around a single coralite, would need size reference, but leaning to scolly.
