Hey guys, any assitance to ID this little guy will be appreciated. It came attached to a piece of rock. Probably is not a mushrooms since its seems to have am skeleton under the pinkish tissue. It has been in my reef for 3 or r months and has grown very very veeery slowly. Polyps seems to be extending more and is fluffier than when it arrived.

Thanks for the replies. I can´t see a mouth there, but the guy is really small (size of a dime). I'll take a pic tomorrow when he is retracted to see the skeleton (if any).

I googles the St. Thomas and it might be, but I read they have mouth (like other mushrooms). Mine does not have the blueish base as from the pic.
 
I think I got a better photo this time. Under a flashlight I was able to see s more green\blue base, just like the St Thomas as @Mr_Knightley proposed (thanks). Probably I was mistaken with the skeleton, I could not make him retract, and still couldnt identify a mouth.

it may just be a tiny pedal division, so a clipping of the foot of a St. Thomas that hasn't grown a mouth yet. It should grow one soon.
