Can anyone ID this?

Bought this bubble coral from a LFS and just noticed this growth/eggs? I'm somewhat concerned that it's an unwanted pest laying in wait. Can anyone ID it? It's only been in my tank 2 days at this point. I did not dip the coral (just learned about this practice yesterday :D). Any help is appreciated!

Man, starting to not feel good about this. I've got this posted on one other site and with over 80 views between here and there, no one knows what it is.
Should I pull the frag and commence scraping??? :question:
 
LOL, thanks, I will ready the flame thrower.
It really is odd looking. Here is a closer pic. Maybe it will help.
I may pull the piece and dip it to be safe although I guess if it is eggs, that won't help anyway.

OK, here's a better pic. You might be right about the super glue. Not sure. Looking closer you can see that there is a split between the stem rock and the base rock. Let me know what you guys think.
If I can remove the base rock, how do I get the mushroom off of it? (My thumb is hiding a half dollar size mushroom). Do I cut it off with a razor blade? (Sorry, have not done any fragging yet. In my infancy of reefkeeping.) :)
Thanks guys!

Without seeing it right in front on me it looks just like when coralline starts to grow over the supper glue I use to mount my frags. Just keep an eye on it no need to cut it off.
BTW Nice bubble coral
