Can anyone identify this coral?

[AlaskanWaters]

I bought a new coral a couple weeks ago, and this tiny little guy was on the same rock. Can anyone identify it? Looks like it might be a Rhodactis mushroom? It’s about 1/4 inch in diameter right now.

I think its a yuma mushroom

Yup, that's a yuma/ricordea mushroom.

yellow mouth and mainly purple body make me think rainbow yuma or purple monster yuma/ ricordea. Mine look pretty much the same under blue led.

Awesome, thank you all! Neat to get a freebie :)

Yes, it is! Never happened to me yet... well technically waving hand anthelia, but... :(

So far the only freebies I’ve gotten are aiptasia

Well if you count that as a freebie, me too! Thank goodness for berghia... it was bad. Really, really bad.

I think that’s my next step! It’s not terrible yet, but it’s not improving.

That's how I was and then out of no where, boom. Everywhere. I think it was because my nutrients were elevated.

That right there, is a coral. It will feed off light and grow into a larger coral, and then will split and turn into many corals. Great freebie. The purple yellow contrast will be great once it gets adjusted and a little larger
