bleached mushroom

thanks, i guess it must be a bleached mushroom, i couldnt find anything that had that color and large mouth. you cant tell in the pic but its the same color as a yellow highlighter. i think its a Rhodactis mushroom. it moves pretty quickly, more like an anemone than the other corallimorpharians ive seen. neat

i wasnt aware that mushrooms could bleach, i thought they just shriveled up and died.. also isnt mushroom die off a sign of bad water quality? seeing how they are very hearty.
