I purchased this coral from my local LFS yesterday. The gentleman at the store said it was some version of a mushroom. Does not look like a mushroom to me but I purchased it because I have not seen this guy before. The blue and green coloring looks great under the blue lights.

Yeah that is a Heliofungia aka long tentacle plate coral. It really should be moved to the sand bed.
