Even with the bounce bubbles?
Yes. Ricordea can also develop bounce attributes. Now that I'm on my desktop and looking at my ricordea and rhodactis, I'm leaning towards rhodactis just based on the number of tiny polyps. In any event, nice coral!

Thanks, I'm not too versed in mushrooms even though I could care less about names just more into corals that catch my eye.

Definitely not Ricordea! Those are Rhodactis sp, not a lot of literature on the rhodactis species but it is definitely in the genus. Looks morphologically similar to the species that usually bounces, which includes the OG, Sunkist, Nuclear, etc.
Ricordea always have perfectly round, or slightly oval shaped, tentacles, and are rarely non fluorescent like the one you have here. Rhodactis are often rough in texture and less fluorescent then their cousins.

+1 Yes, good take.
