I got this in a mixed box of ricordeas. I love it but not sure what it is, can someone help me ID?

In theory it would have been collected in Florida, not sure if that matters and not 100% positive that's the case.

better pic incoming...

Looks like a St Thomas to me.

+1 Saint Thomas. It also could be a "bounce" ricordea. They can get some funky bubbles if placed under intense blues.

It looks like a Saint Thomas shroom. If so, nice score! People seem to like them more than regular ricordeas.

Sting to me or other critters in the tank?

Other corals.

I had two of these beauties that came in at ~3", but in a 12g nano they puffed up greatly and so took up ~1/3 of the total space in just a few short months.

Great for a larger aquarium, but there are reports that they *may* possibly be able to snare slower and smaller fish.
