Sorry no picture since its at the LFS. I'm really interested in this coral though, but i don't know what it is and neither does the guy working there which is strange b/c they are usually really knowledgable. So this coral looks like a mushroom with a bump that may be a mouth, but doesn't look like a typical mouth. However it isn't floppy when you move it or take it out of water, it holds like shape and can be molded. It will mold to whatver it is around. Its not encrusting. It is a peach/pink coral, the color most leathers are but then it has neon green "fuzzies" all over it. They are tiny though, not like a hiary mushroom. You have to look really close to distinguish them. Kind of looks like montipora, but isn't hard. Its about 4-5" in diameter. Any ideas? I'm really considering buying it, its just so interesting.
