    I think that might be some kind of sponge under the mushroom.

    Looks to me to be the foot of the mushroom stretching to have a kid. Mine has done this 4 times in the past month.

    It is not part of the mushroom....It is a long way away from the foot

    Very nice looking coral, Danny..

    Later, Larry

    I also have something like that on liverock, much bigger.. found out it was a sponge.
    BUT, looks nothing like one.. And is growing.. But not harming anything..

    Looks like a tunicate to me. They are harmless sea squirts.
