Coral ID please...

Hi, as some of you know I am into my first SW tank ever. It's a custom built, pre-drilled 20g Nano Reef (footprint of standard 10gal).

I have been collecting live rock (just a few fragments of actually live rock, most I have been seeding), as well as some wild caught inverts and macro-algae.

Today I rescued a small piece of coral from the low end of intertidal zone at somewhat isolated spots in the Caribbean basin, Hispaniola Island, where I live.

I haven't been able to identify this species that I got earlier today. Here is a pic of an adjacent zone where I collected my actual fragment.

Thanks for your feedback.

Looks like a sponge, however keep your eyes peeled on it and see if you find little polyps coming out.
