yeah a better picture would be good. if i would guess, i would say it's a sponge. corals don't grow that fast.

By the picture, I would say Sponge also, but sponge dosen't grow that big overnight.
I get alot of sponge and corals on the live rock we bring in.

It look's like a sponge or a tunicate wish the picture wasn't so blurry but that would be my guess on what it is.

If they are, then you're VERY lucky
Or it could also be a sponge like the others said

its a sun coral look up the name on google images. but it requires no lights(nonphtosynthetic coral) and regular feedings of bi weekly or more often. i can tell that it is a hard coral in the pic by polyp formation, and i work in a fish store and i deal with alot of sun corals young and old plus dendrophyllia which are pretty easy as long as you remember to feed every so often. but get me a better pic for 100% identifaction. but im 99% sure that its a young sun coral.
another for sponge here. i wouldnt say its a suncoral unless you see a polyp extension in it
