    OK, thanks. I agree, that looks like some type of mushroom.

    Definitely a baby shroom. I'd turn it over and let it get some good light and see what it does.

    I'd clip off the kenya, strap it to another rock, and see what the shroom does.
    That's just me though. :)

    I was actually thinking of it. How do you remove the kenya properly?

    I've heard exacto-knives work nicely for fragging soft corals (ie zoa and kenya tree tissue). I would assume the same would be safe to go along the bottom of the coral with?
