So I just got back from college, my mom did a great job keeping my tank healthy (apart from some algae due to over feeding). But I noticed these 2 almost mushroom corals with blue around the outside and red on the middle. I have attached a photo. But I never have had mushrooms in here before can anyone ID those 2 things right under the zoa colony?

Have you got a better picture, if it’s a mushroom will be interesting as I’ve never seen that.

Unfortunately it is a tough location in the tank so I’m not sure if these images will be much better. I included some images with the blues on as well.

Zooming in on the disc it seems that could be a zoa or a paly. Let it grow and see what happens

They look like palythoa
