FYI, when I was new to this I added a "nice green hairy mushroom" on some rocks adjacent to some Cyphastrea and it have completely overcome the nice spreading Cyphastrea colonies and the more I try to remove the mushroom the angrier and more aggressive it has become.

Place it carefully with great growth expansion in mind - please
 
That's a rhodactis mushroom. You could probably sell it for $2,000 if you put it under blue lights.

on a rock away from any other part of the scape. Make no mistake, they are eye pleasing, healthy fast growing corals, great early entries to a stater tank - they just may no play well with others.
