How about a pic for comparison.

I'll see if I can get a chance to shoot them. I'm in the middle of a big installation and working double time. Mine are all single color but have the same rigid feeling polyp with rough texture on the disc. I've had them in blue, blue/green rim, red and green. The polyp shown above and mine lack the vessicles that rhodactis have which is why I doubt it is a rhodactis - I have a pretty good rhodactis collection. I'm leaning towards Discosoma but don't know the species. Anyone know of a mushroom ID site that helps differentiate discos from actinodiscos and rhodactis?

Oh so yours aren't the exact same. I thought you meant you had the same crazy shroom.

Here's an assortment of species. Wish I hadn't sold the blue, which is one of the ones I think is the same species.
Top and right: Rhodactis species
Left and center reds: Discosoma carlgreni
Blue: discosoma sp
