Someone told me this is a mushroom of somekind. But it looks different than others i have had. Anyone have any ideas on what this coral is.

With what appears to be many mouths, this doesn't seem to be a mushroom. Does it have a stony skeleton, or does it have a foot attached to some substrate?
 
I think it's a stony skeleton. Any guesses on what it is or type of coral.

Looks to be a Galaxea coral to me even though I have had mushrooms that look similar. It looks like it really enjoys your tank and is ln a good spot.
 
Galaxea fascicularis

Some mushrooms can have a similar look, but not similar enough to make that kind of mistake.

Rhodactis howesii “Green Hairy Mushroom”

Definitely not any sort of a mushroom with those mouths all over I’d second the possible galaxea.
