bought this "assorted coral" from my LFS is it a mushroom coral or a plate coral?

Hairy mushroom? Toadstool leather?

Is there a skeleton? Is there a stalk?
I do not think there is either a skeleton nor a stalk so maybe a hairy mushroom? if it is how hardy is it?

It will still have an attachment point like a normal mushroom, but if it is one, it should stay close to the rock. Similar overall to regular discosoma or rhodactis mushrooms, they can be fine with moderate to lower light, are pretty tolerant of excess nutrients, and are likely to grow reasonably fast. Not a particularly demanding coral if it's indeed a hairy mushroom.

Ohhh, just for clarification is an attachment point a rock or something the mushroom coral attaches to that is then attached to a coral plug? if so then it is most likeley a mushroom coral. Thank you for your replies then!
