Yeah I'd say mushroom probably. Doesn't look like any sponge I've seen.

300% ain't no mushroom. First if all it's not slimy and doesn't have a mouth, secondly it has a rubbery texture and is abit like porous.

Anyone else want to take a stab to identify??

I'm guessing the guy who names the zoas doesn't do sponges.

The colour is crazy intense, it's really that blue in person. I've only seen purple ones.
