As Otty suggested, hopefully you can take a better picture. From the picture you are showing us at the present time, it looks to me as if it is a skeletal remains of a piece of stony coral(possibly a type of brain coral) with algae growing on it.
Hopefully a better and clearer picture will suffice to help us to better ID what you in fact have on the piece of live rock.
