Hello all!

I purchased a mushroom coral frag a few weeks ago, and they weren't sure of species but assured me mushrooms were safe with seahorses. Happened to find out that there's an elephant ear mushroom they could potentially eat a seahorse and fish. Looking online there were some that seemed to kind of look like it. Can anyone say for sure which species of mushroom coral this is and if seahorse safe? Thanks!

Platyzoanthus mussoides. I have one in my tank but I have never had any trouble with it.

It is known to eat very small fish, but I highly doubt it will eat a seahorse. It is not like it immediately traps anything that is resting on it.
