Default Soft coral ID please

Any ideas please. Would like to find out more about it so I can place it in my tank in the best place with regard to lighting and current etc.

Its a green mushroom. I have the same thing in my tank. Mid to low lighting needs. Somewhat low current. They are the second hardest thing to keep in a tank IMO

If you are asking me then I'm sorry but I don't want to sell it. I am very new to marine and this is my first coral. I was actually given it as a freebie by my LFS so I doubt it is worth anything. I have come home tonight at it has really opened up so it must be happier now that it is out of direct current. Thanks for the advice Greg

I was only answering your question and trying to be funny.

On the other hand that shroom is nice and unique. Good score
