Could it be in the transparent family?

Maybe a pic would help.

The name of the sea and your location would probably help narrow down the identification process a bit

It's hard to tell the color. If it is yellow, then it could be Porites cylindrica (canary porites). If its pink them possibly Stylophora subseriata (cats paw). A clear and closer picture of the polyps would help along with the above mentioned questions answered.

My friend found it in the sea in Jamaica. We found it in shallow waters and he said there are purple ones there as well.

I sure hope you two are in Jamaica, and you didn't bring this back to the USA.
