Hi can anybody id this mushroom coral for me please.

Thankyou in advance
 
Looks to be a rhodactis/discoma, though I doubt it is a "bounce", though it may seem like one.
The variety with natural round tentacles used to be recognized as a seperate species, Orinia torpida, but are now just considered a variant of a regular rhodactis mushroom.

Bounce mushrooms have enlarged vesticles that are most likely caused by artificial light, but these occur naturally.
