I was looking last night at my tank and noticed in the coral below there was something zipping around it, I was like hey what is that, called my wife over. Ended up, it is a small baby fish, looks like maybe a goby or something. I think it came with the coral, because I do not have anything in the tank that looks like this little guy. I will keep you all up to date. It looks like it is a light gray now. The coral is starting to have a blueish color to it, the coral has been in my tank for about two weeks. The purple looking spots on the coral are the blue spots, the color did not show up to well in the picture.

Sorry to break this to you, but I believe it is probably a corallivorous goby. There are certain species that feed on Acropora sp. You'd better get him out ASAP or you may lose some colonies.....
Just kidding

Keep us posted, get some pics if you can!
