ok....so I picked up this unknown coral at the LFS (they had no idea what it was).....to me it looks like a shroom but it has balloon like polyps very similar to a frog spawn only purple and blue......underneath that is a layer of blueish green

Any ideas?

looks like frogspawn. does it have a skeleton it can retract into?
