Well, according to my invert "bible" it's a Rhodactis sp, which accurate identify is extremely difficult. But they're gorgeous!!!! I'd take a peek in your LFS and see what they're selling similar mushrooms for.

WHY ARE THEY DIFFICULT!?!?!?!?!
and can u believe i only got the rock with all those mushrooms for 5 or 6 bucks.
i went to a LFS that i dont usually go to a lot and they have new people who work there, they dont know ANYTHING about saltwater fish. i bought like a $150 bucks worth of mushrooms for only 18 bucks and with that was 2 big pieces of black sun coral and one not very healthy brain coral. all for 18. they only charged me for the weight. witch was like 2.50 per pound. i was about to pass out when i bought the rocks.

That's AWESOME!!!! Excuse me while I go turn 3 shades of green

As for the ID, that was the Latin name for the species in your picture. There are a wide variety of shrooms......not my ID specialty, however, seahorses on the other hand
I'd pm BangGuy or one of the other monitors if you want a 100& confirmation on your shroom.
