Can anyone identify what these are?

I was told by my LFS that they were mushrooms, though they looked unsure as they said that, and I’m still questioning lol

Got it 2 days ago

So I’m not sure if they open up more, if they were fully open in the store than they only open up a little bit more..
But not sure if they only arrived shortly before. But it’s been a couple days, don’t think it’s gonna be a major difference

What interesting is that I have non reef safe fish, and have found that they don’t like mushrooms. So I have a bunch of mushrooms. And they don’t seem interested in these either. But that doesn’t mean that much..
Could just taste bad

Micromussa or favites
need pic under white lights to confirm tissue or skeleton
 
they do close up similar to mushrooms when touched. I know that doesn’t mean much but has that skin on the back.

I’m searching the suggestions so far, found a couple that look similar

Kinda looks like both of these. It has a bright green mouth.
And there’s like white tissue around it when it’s being touched

Oh yeah looks like favits too.

How can I tell which it is?

And if it’s not that important, is there anything I should know about feeding if needed and dosing if needed?

I don’t dose for my mushrooms and anemone. But not sure about these..
And I have coral feed plankton in the fridge. (Do they last more than a year?)
So I can feed that
 
It may be a blastomussa merletti. It seems to have a skeletal structure that may be branching, but it's difficult to say from the pics.
 
Indian Ocean Redfin butterflyfish
Myers butterflyfish
Clown butterflyfish

If they ever come available .
I’d grab one in a heart beat !
 
Turns out the iPhone isn’t as good as advertised
Best I can get.

Im gonna say Blastomussa. Definitely not a mushroom. Blastos arent a hard coral to care for, they do like to be fed especially mysis shrimp or pellets. They generally do not like too much light or flow. Give yours a few days to a week and it should extend alot more.

Looks to me like it could be an Acan echinata
