    I think it might be a porites, a sharper picture would help greatly

    Definitely Porites or Montipora. My thoughts are Porites

    Porities are very common hitch hikers on LR and can live through a cycle.
    It's actually very aggressive and can become a problem

    The zoas will overgrow the porites, the porites may do the same to slower growing coral
