That is likely a good guess for the species of the one you posted, although a much more detailed photo with the polyps withdrawn would be needed for a species ID. Hairy Mushrooms can look very similar, but your pic does appear to be Galaxea spp.

I was leaning more towards the hairy shroom. Does it have a hard bottom that the tenticals retract into or does it just kinda shrivel up a bit at night.

Really? Usually you can see a change in the tentacles near the mouth of Hairy Mushrooms. Indeed you do describe a Mushroom.

The results are in.

It is indeed a Rhodactis indosinensis (green hairy mushroom)

Thanks, all.
