Weird encrusting thing ID

[nathan212178]

I just got back from school and noticed something under some algae, I thought it was nothing or coralline algae but apparently it was plating with pattern and tbh.. it’s the first time I would consider in the hobby standoffish
It’s hard, slimy like a mushroom coral, and has bright orange highlights and markings like a jawbreaker mushroom, it’s encrusted most of the Little Rock and although it’s really weird I think it’s also really cool lol
