Too blurry for me to tell. Maybe H. crispa or H. malu, but just a guess with those pics.

Looks like a giant mushroom.

I am pretty sure that is not a giant hairy mushroom. I just make out purple dots on the tips of the tentacles...so it could definitely be a sebae anemone, BTA, or LTA.

We are going to need better pictures to confirm and ID Tayler.

Giant lavender hairy mushroom or a Giant Cup Mushroom. They can have purple tips.

I would say H. crispa or H. malu; it doesn't look like a type of mushroom to me. What does the column look like? Also, how large is it?

 

[Tayler]

ya im pretty sure its not a mushroom. it is about 4 inches in diameter. its column is whitish cream coloured and is down in a crack in the rock.

I have a hairy mushroom that is about 5 1/2" so they get big.
