I'm going try I have xr30 blues, so that is why I get that blue on the photos and I don't have lenses for my phone.

Does it move? Hard to tell but almost looks like it could be a encrusting coral lol.

Well, it look like it. It has some green polyps.

If it has polyps and doesn't ever move I would assume some sort of encrusting coral. Just glue the snail in place and u have a free frag

Poor snail..

If that's really what happened then man did that guy take a looong nap next to a poorly chosen coral colony. Talk about and aggressive coral, I'd be careful whwre u place it lol

Looks like some kind of monti or porites. Like others have said, for this to be an encrusting coral this snail must have slept real long near the original colony. Or someone who previously owned this snail thought it would be funny to glue a coral to the shell.
