I just got this little guy for $10 at my reef shop I go to. It has a soft "trunk" like a zoa. I tried to get a pic didn't come out well. It has little tentacles all on the top of it. Very handsome looking tho
I took pics in both blue light and white

I took pics in both blue light and white. I just had to crop the pics because they were too large which too them out of focus even more

Does it look something like this when fully opened? If so then it's some kind of Duncan coral. They're really cool, and get nice a big.

Does it have a hard skeleton at all? It looks like a tiny plate coral.

The owner of the store said it was a mushroom... So for $10 I definitely grabbed it LOL. I cannot find it on the internet...

I would bet hairy mushroom as well, although I did also think plate from the first pictures, until I saw the soft underside.

I can't find it either, but whatever you do, don't search up "hairy mushroom" the word "coral" is needed lol
"hairy mushroom coral " is the term that's needed to do an internet search

Well, I learned something new today. Plate corals move on their own. Also I'm at a lfs who also says it's a plate. Lol learn something new everyday.
