ID Please? Not A Critter, Coral Maybe?

Could anyone id this for me. I got a small piece of rock from my LFS a couple weeks ago. The rock was damp but wasn't sitting in his tank. I noticed a couple pink spots on it but haven't paid much attention to it until tonight. It looks like it has grown a bit but hasn't moved at all. I found two other spots as well tonight.

Good or bad?

Awesome. But probably dead. Ive only seen a couple alive on the boards here.

If you touch it it's hard as a Rock and sharp too. Yea?

I haven't touched it. When I got the rock. I just assumed it was dead so I didn't bother with it. It looks as if it's grown a bit in the last 2 weeks. Going to keep an eye on it. Just took a couple more pics to see if it helps with the id.

Poke it!
If it's soft it's a sponge
