That's a red rhodactis shroom, really nice color on that piece! One way to tell Rhodactis from Yuma is that a Yuma will always have perfectly round tentacles all over the body, whereas Rhodactis often have misshapen tentacles.

Thanks. I was in my LFS today and wasn’t going to buy anything until I spotted this. The colour really popped. The vibrancy of the green rim is lost a bit in the picture
 
Here it is unfiltered and settling in. Does it look to have new mouths forming. See there’s a couple of blue purple areas.

It appears to me like it recently split from another larger mushroom, I can tell because the mouth is on the side and in a little crease. In about a week it should be near perfectly round and may try to split again!
 
How quick do these guys grow? It’s expanded even more than the settled in picture above.
 
Looks like it is acclimating nicely to your tank. Some shrooms just take of when happy and healthy. I got an electus about a month ago now and its trippled in size in my system.
 
Just had another look at it

It’s probably just being a shroom and will be back looking the same in the morning
