Is it glue?
You got a bunch of glue under it so could be from your finger holding it

Looks like it's been there for a little bit. The top has algae or something on it, it discolored the white already.
Could be glue as liddojunior said.

Glad no one here is a Dr
It’s not glue, my first post stated that it’s growing. Glue doesn’t grow. The only glue touching this coral is on frag plug

Then a sponge. Quite common. They like to lurk in the shade of the polyps.

I thought this as well but OP said not soft, cannot scrape.

Ah yes, missed the not soft part. Could be a calcareous sponge which is hard.
