mushroom help

[muecyl]

Hello all, I was curious if anyone could help me identify the mushroom in my tank (Sorry this is the largest photo I could figure out how to upload). I have about nine different clusters that have suddenly have emerged. The largest ones are around 15 mm/ 3/4 " and the smallest 3-4 mm/ 1/8", and they appear to be solid brown. I had a mushroom coral when I first started but it died off two years ago and I first started my tank. I suppose the spores never died and they came back??? I don't know. I enjoy knowing the latin names to my reef tank, if anyone might know the exact name of these that would be great, and any help to get them to flourish...

Best Regards to you all.

Your 100% right, it is. I was thinking is was a mushroom species . Im looking it up now, it appears to be under the common name "leaf Coraline" or Corallinaceae. ??? . I will look further. Any suggestions as to where to find out about this coraline algae and how to ID it???

Looks more like a type of scroll algae to me.
