Help Identify this mushroom please.

Tank has been aging for about 6 months now. I have just noticed a few of these in some different areas and am trying to get a positive id on them.

TIA..

looks like a mushroom coral, which is actually a type of anenome if i'm correct

Mushroom corals are not anemones, but are classified in their own separate order. The order is Corallimorpharians, including the genera Discosoma, Rhodactis, Ricordea(which isn't what you have), Amplexidiscus, Corynactis and Pseudocorynactis. I'm sure there are other genera, but that's a place to start. 8O
