unknown coral

Does any one have any idea what kind of mushroom this is?




It loves direct feeds and it uses its little tentacles like an anemone to pull the food to its mouth. Its got a orange mouth and green body.

Re: unknown coral

Doesn't look like a mushroom to me. It does look like a small plate coral though. Is it hard or soft? Did you purchase it or is it a hitchhiker?

Re: unknown coral

I was thinking that is was a baby plate coral but its really soft and shrinks up like a mushroom with no lights on i bought it as a baby a little over a month ago and its allready doubled in size. The guy i bought it from didnt know much about corals since its his brothers store.

Re: unknown coral

Definitely not a mushroom. Mushrooms don't have tentacles like are present in that latest pic.
