kinda hard to tell from the pics but it could be a couple things by the pic... blue cloves, gsp, encrusting gorgonia, or sympodium.... have you ever had any of these in the past in this tank?

Doesn't look like a soft coral to me... More like a turbinaria, or alveopora even. Does it have a hard skeleton?

 

[stonepilot]

no hard skeleton growing on rock not gsp has single stalks with what looks like flowers on top thanks for the help the alveopora looks really close the stalks just are not that long

Looks like an encrusting alveopora to me, if that exists. Count the tentacles on each polyp: if there are eleven, it's alveopora. It still doesn't look like a soft coral IMO

I counted and most have not more than 12 tentacles per polyp
