Hello,

Please, can I ask for help with identification of this coral/mushroom. The dive site is Pentanissos Islet near St Paul's Bay, Rhodes.

To me it looks very much like Bubble coral (Pterogyra sinuosa) but it is not encountered in the Mediterranean.

Thank you.

looks like a corallimorph to me, try the mushroom forum, doesn't appear to be SPS.

It's not a corallimorph; it's some sort of anemone. Can't say what type, as these don't occur in the hobby and I'm not knowledgeable w/ Actinarians. Maybe post it on iNat and someone might ID it for you
