Help with ID

[Clowning-around]

Hi everyone. Brand New to reefing. I was told it was Galaxea but just want to be sure. Can someone help me id this guy?

Any chance of a more top down style pic? I can’t tell with that pic

Here’s two more. As you can see it has a base that it protrudes from and at night closes up into. It also seems to have a mouth at the center similar to a mushroom. Hope this pic helps sorry about the photo bomber!

Best I can tell, it looks to be stretching for more light, but appears to be a hairy mushroom, especially based on your description of night activity, Though not as colorful as some. If it was Galaxea it would have a hard skeleton

Ah yes - thank you! Based off some videos and photos online to compare I’m 99% sure you are correct.
