Hey reefers. I received a coral as a gift and I can not id it. If anyone knows what this is I would really appreciate the help.

it could be a mushroom but i think i see a feeder tentacle ring in the center, hard to tell from pic, algae should still be removed though
 
That's a Micromussa lordhowensis, AKA 'Acan Lord'. The algae on the plug is ticking it off and making it trumpet out. Try and pick off as much of it as you can, then put a snail or two right on the plug and keep it there, so it can eat up the leftovers.
 
Thank you so much. Its been bothering me for a while now. I really appreciate the help and tips.
