Got this as a freebie in an order, i wish they would label them, not the end of the world, but I have no clue what it is. It's soft, the little color that is there is green and gold/yellow and has a weird cluster like thing it projects/the sits on top, and small polyps that look like a torches at the base. I have it resting near a mushroom right now in some easy/medium flow/light until i know where to place it. It's either really bleached out or white naturally, since the whites are bouncing off the lens of my camera making it hard to get a nice picture. Really no idea what this thing is, im pretty sure its a softy, looks like a mushroom with something sticking out lol, but no clue otherwise.

Hmmm... I haven't seen a white coral like that before I would hazard a guess at Ricordia mushroom or possibly a St. Thomas mushroom.
Looks like a bleached out Ricordia Mushroom to me

I dont think it's a mushroom do to the thing that sticks out and sways. No mushroom i know of has that.
