Coral ID?

[freeride7]

Does anyone have an idea on what type of coral this is? SPS of some sort..
I had a small finger peice of it given to me a few years ago from another tank and wedged it in my rock in my 55 gal...since then it has grown quite a bit. I want to break off a piece and place in my 180, just curious as to what it is.

blue ridge (heliopora) its actually a soft coral even though it has a hard body. but needs the same conditions as sps

Thanks for the info. I read a few more threads on it now that I know what it is...seems it is kind of rare..I fragged it tonight and placed a few of the branches in my 180. I see where it gets its name...very blue inside where the frag peices are broken off. Nice coral, especially when the polyps are extended.
