Dead rent-a-coral coming back to life?

So i picked up a goniopora more commonly kown as a rent-a-coral. It's been dead for a couple months, or so I thought. It is now coming back to life! Is it really happening or is it some other kind of coral coming back in its place?

Pics and an old thread to come shortly

 

thread from when I first got it...

pics would definately help us now more than ever! but yea thats looks KIA.

 

if you look closely you can see all the polyps starting to form in various places on the rock. I never would have imagined a coral could come back to life...

 

I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at in this picture but after looking at your other thread, I'm not so sure that what you had to begin with was a goniopora?

 

geez I didnt realize it was such a crappy pic! sorry.

If you look just to the right of the wrasse, there is a rock on top a rock. if you see the burgundy red blob, directly below it is the skeleton from the goniopora.(its actually blocking the view of the rest of the "blob") if you look closely you can see the whitish gray polyps starting to come back.

I will try and find a better pic. standby



I dot know if the yellow ring is visible, it was in Paint. hopefully that shows the area i am talking about better

 

I see the area now but you really need a better/closer picture for these old eyes to see anything Was the rock that it came on from the Caribbean by any chance? I ask because I remember seeing a coral skeleton similar to the one that you posted on your first thread when I visited the Caribbean several years ago.

 

Thats the best I could do this morning before leaving for work (iphone pic)

I have no earthly idea where the rock is from. when I picled it up from the LFS they said it was a purple goniopora. Thats pretty much the extent of what I know.
