Yeah, goniopora/leptastrea/porites skeletonsThe round white objects. Looks to me like coral skeletons covered in white fleshy substance.
I do not see anything covering them, any closer/clearer pics?Any idea what is covering them ?
Exactly. They are covered in a layer of white, somewhat transparent layer of something.I think I see what you're asking about - the coral skeleton looks abnormally white/puffy instead of cream/just skeletal right?

Could be a light blue encrusting sponge? They are generally close to the surface and have a hazy appearance with a slight blue tintI see it, but I have no idea what it is.
It's not any sponge species that I know of - it's very uniform (which would be abnormal for most sponges), and only a handful of sponges I know of encrust that close to the surface of the substrate; most are much puffier/stick out much further. Fungi are extremely rare in our aquariums, so I doubt it's that, but I can't totally rule the possibility out.
Personally, I'd let it grow out and see what happens with it.
Theres no blue tint or tint of any color. Just white somewhat transparent. It seems to swell or get thicker when the lights come on so it reacts to lightCould be a light blue encrusting sponge? They are generally close to the surface and have a hazy appearance with a slight blue tint
Almost makes me wonder if it's the coral flesh trying to regrow.Theres no blue tint or tint of any color. Just white somewhat transparent. It seems to swell or get thicker when the lights come on so it reacts to light
It did not smell like rock with dieing areas. I did the overnight shipping and the rock had no odor whatsoever> I have gotten rock before that had die off and smelled like low tideAlmost makes me wonder if it's the coral flesh trying to regrow.
