Help with Hitchhiker ID, Please

[Ann R]

I have a critter that came on my new live rock. I have searched hitchhiker
sites but cannot find it

Basically it is shaped, colored and looks like a very large red raspberry.
The little "pimples" on it turn orange and out pops little polyp looking
things, one to each "pimple". Any ideas on what it is and what I feed it.
I've tried taking photos but it comes out looking like a fuzzy, red ball.
Any ideas so I can start looking for info would be appreciated

Sounds like you may have picked up a small frag of acropora coral?

Looked here yet? Sitre is owned by a reg of these groups.

Thanks for the link. I think I found it - Pink Pocillopora.
