What is growing?

Anybody know what this is. I had 2 rock flower anenome about a year ago that disappeared when my tank was in bad shape. (bad water) I also had a very big colony of Duncan's that was that same color. It just showed up out of nowhere. Any info is appreciated.

Looks like a cabbage leather coral (if soft) or turbinaria (if it has a hard skeleton)

My first thought was turbinaria too, but checking for a skeleton is definitely a helpful one for an ID.

How do I check. It's flat to the rock and very small. Will I just be able to touch it and feel for it.

touch it (poke it lightly with your finger) and see if you feel a skeleton under the flesh. Same way if you grab a finger your can tell there’s a bone in there 😛
