Coral ID

[Lewism11]

I picked up a zoa frag 2 weeks ago and there was another coral growing on the frag plug. It also looked like it was encrusting the frag rack too. I thought it was some sort of SPS at first glance but it's got edges that are sort of soft in appearance, certainly doesn't have a "skeleton" that I can see. Can anyone help ID this?
I snapped the picture right after a water change so the zoas were closed up.

I suspect it to be sponge but I can't really say from these photos.

Here it is with more white light turned on if that helps.

Cant see upclose details that well in pics but looks like pavona from polyp orientation.

Google "blue pavona" and compare

After a quick google search I think your right. This photo is almost identical. I’m assuming this is an encrusting coral?

It will encrust as well as form lobes and leaf like growths.
