It changes so much . From pink to purple to blue . Changes shapes each night . Thought maybe mushroom or Arcadia corral but all the pics I find don’t look like mine when it’s large.
Thanks .
It’s starting to spread so thought I better know what it is . Lol

Can you post pics with white light? Kinda hard to tell in the blues but kinda looks like bubble algae.

Could be a Ricordea sp. could also be in the Discosoma sp. or maybe
Rhodactis sp by the mouth Rhodactis mussoides or elephant ear of some sort. Definately a Corilimorph

I will take more pics tomorrow. I don’t think it’s bubble algae , it completely changes into individual circles at night . Thinking it probably is a community of mushrooms ?
Definately a muchroom coral Ricordea sp. like LoveMyReef mentioned is a good start. There are a handful of geniuses and many species I can say it isn't in the Actinodiscus clade...
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
