Can somebody help me ID this coral please???

I just got this mushroom today that my LFS received a few hours prior to me walking in... i asked what it was but since they didn't order it and it was delivered by a past employee as a frag the worker wasn't able to tell me exactly (since he wasnt there when it was brought in) ... I think it may be from Australia and I think it may be rather rare. But im not 100% sure. Thats why im asking you guys.
Any information is extremely appreciated.

Not a mushroom.

It's a favia just not sure what the name is.

Ok that helps too. I just since its still only a single bud I concidered it a mushroom? do you have any idea if its rare or not?

looks like prism favia not too rare usually goes about 10$ for a single eye.

Look up Dragon Soul Favia. Pretty sure that is it.

Almost looks like dragon soul to me. Sought after but not rare

Dragon Soul or Prism favia, for sure. It is actually a Goniastrea, not a Favia. But do to the similarities it is referred to as one. Great coral and very hardy, be ware of its sweepers as it gets larger.

When i spot feed it a Mysis shrimp once a week its the coolest s*** i have ever seen.... i havnt seen any sweepers yet, but i do know if you put a shrimp on it, things happen within... its slow, but very cool.
