Do you know what the dead coral was? It almost looks like a Duncan.

+1 on the ducan coral. Maybe there was a bit of tissue left and it regenerated itself.

I still say Duncan. Here's a pic of one from the net that reminds me of what you have. It's not my pic, my Duncan is too tiny to show any branching yet.

The "rock" that it came out of looks like it is a skeleton of a duncan coral - compare it to the pic - the sttucture matches closely, and would explain why little duncan corals are growing out of it.
