    As Otty suggested, hopefully you can take a better picture. From the picture you are showing us at the present time, it looks to me as if it is a skeletal remains of a piece of stony coral(possibly a type of brain coral) with algae growing on it.
    Hopefully a better and clearer picture will suffice to help us to better ID what you in fact have on the piece of live rock.

    its the best i can do unfortunatly. if i go to close it gets real blurry and if i am to far you cant see it.
    the thing is when i got it it was all white and its actually expanded, grown since ive got it. the lady at the lfs said it was coral but didnt know what kind
