Question Coral ID please
Sorry to be such a newb, but I am trying to get an ID on this mushroom coral I purchased in terms of its common and latin name (if possible):



I really like to study absolutely everthing I can and having a name to Google will go a long way

It's about 2" in diameter and has a lime green color around the base of the "cap".


Thanks,

Francis

Toadstool, mushroom... it's all fungus

It looks to be a toadstool leather to me too, so probably sarcophyton sp.
