How did you get an ID that easily?
Just experience, I’ve been keeping reef tanks for over 20 years, and I prefer to use Latin names over trade names. I’ve kept this species many times, and currently have some (they’re pretty unmistakable, IMO). But ask me to ID acroporas and most SPS and I’m useless.

I can barely ID the mushrooms I kept in the past let alone the ones I have now lol

Green hairy mushroom and can reproduce quickly
 
Yeah, I agree with MaxTremor’s ID (I don’t know the common name for these guys but after seeing photos I agree with it being R. indosensis).
