This guy showed up on my live rock. He's about an 3/4 of an inch across right now. My guess is either a nem of some sort or a ricordea, but I have no idea.

He’s below the people eaters:

It looks like it could be a mushroom to me. Does it have a solid base like an LPS coral? If so it could be a Blasto Merletti or even a Meat Coral.
 
It's pretty tight to the rock, so I can't tell if there's a skeleton or not. If its a shroom it's a really think-mouthed one. All of my others taper off pretty thin, this guy is thick at the edges.

I'll admit, the mouth plate looks like a blastomussa, but its behavior and coloration is not typical based on my experience.
