Looks like no mushroom I've ever had in the past.

It's a single and haven't seen it spread to make more mushrooms. I thought after some time viewing it that it was a sort of Anemone, but yeah that's why I need some help or info about this coral.
 
See how the fingers, Sorry... not sure of the technical name is.

The fingers branch out and never seen that before, but its been 16 yrs since I've been in the hobby and so much new corals out there now.

Definitely a hairy mushroom - These guys are strange in which they really look so unusual. You probably haven’t seen one recently as they’re an ‘old’ coral we used to keep I believe it was popular in tanks from the 1990’s to early 2010’s then just vanished from the market.
 
Yup I've googled green hairy mushroom and after looking at a number of images I'm 99.9% sure you all were right

Thanks everyone for your posts, I really appreciate it
