At first I thought it was a plate coral, but quickly realized it was encrusting on a plug. The tentacles are very much like my plate. The skeleton is more like a chalice. Bright teal and pink

Isn't that a soft coral?
Litophyton is a Soft Coral
Marine Species Identification Portal : Genus Litophyton
Possibly Lithophyllon sp. But not Litophyton.

Ok, that's a very close possibility. Skeletally it is right on with the directional "brush stroke" look. Does lithophyllon have tentacles like a plate coral? They seem pretty consistent. I have been working during noon when the whites are on, I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. With the blues it looks really bad on pic lol.
Actually yeah, that has to be what it is. Multiple mouths and all. Thanks guys, but if anyone thinks otherwise I'm open to keep searching lol.
