Default Does anyone know what this is? mushroom coral?

I've had a piece of live rock for about two months now and just notice this on the back out of view, I don't know what it is, I think it might be some kind of mushroom coral... can anyone help me out with an id?
Thanks,
Ryan

closer but not as clear (it's hard to hold a piece of LR and take a picture of it at the same time)

I've had it from almost the begininng of my time with the hobby, I'm gonna say its a year and a half old to me now... It was pretty small when I had it in my 37 gallon tank under PC's, then it got adopted by my clown after the move to the 72gal and now its just happy as its always been in my 90...

Very hardy anemones, I love the fact that they almost never move too

I like yours as well sarha, its nice and big

I also have a white striped one, a lil smaller but its gettin there

i feed mine a small piece of shrimp or fish evey once in a while yours might take some brine shrimp but i would guess that strong lighting will be enough for the most part.
