Default Coral I.D......hairy shroom?
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?

Rhodactis covers a very large variety of mushrooms, it might take awhile to google one that looks like yours.
