Here are some of my colonies.
ORA Purple Poci
Unknown piece but like the shaggy look!
Unknown tabling acro, couldn't get the color, it's a sea foam green and dark blue polyps.
Another unknown acro.
Tri Color Validia
Another unknown acro, sky blue skin with dark brown polyps, one of my fav's.
And of course Red Planet!

Haha not contagious. But here are two articles that mention "tumour like" growth and Acropora "Growth Anomaly":
Calicoblastic neoplasms in Acropora palma... [J Natl Cancer Inst. 1986] - PubMed - NCBI
And
PLoS ONE: Growth Anomalies on the Coral Genera Acropora and Porites Are Strongly Associated with Host Density and Human Population Size across the Indo-Pacific
Hope the links work.
Is the coral from a recent wild piece?

Here are some of my colonies.
The weird thing about this guy is that its got the same corralite structure as a solitaryensis or verweyi but the polyps don't really match up. Beautiful piece though!

Here is another diamond in the rough, got him in like this -
Few months later under better lighting and better conditions than what he was under -
Still getting better as time goes by with much improvement -
End result, one happy colorful camper
Believe it or not all pics were taken with a samsung 10megapixel point and shoot under 175w 14k Ushio MH bulbs.

Thanks!
Wow! That's the 1st coral that I have seen that looks similar. RC's envy coralites are different though...
My 2nd pic is a top down and the growth/branches are also different.

WesF Those are some awesome pieces you have there! Very impressive!
Are these named corals or just wild or maricultured? I think one is the cali tort but I am not sure on the others. Great job!
Do you have a thread on your tank?
