ID this coral (high res image included)

It looks like a mushroom, but I've never seen a mushroom with this much texture (it's 'polyp-like' tentacles extend pretty far when it's in full extension). You'll see two of these corals next to each other right now, with some old GSP between it (these corals are choking out the gsp - under full extension these corals cover the GSP).

I can only assume there was one coral, and it was split like a mushroom down the middle? Neither coral has a 'mouth' or 'head'. They have doubled in size since they were put into the tank. They love high flow and low flow, high light or low light. No matter where I put them they grow and extend fully.

Hi res image, I'm going to link to it rather than post it because it's big:

I'd say this picture is 2 weeks old, about 2-3 inches per mushroom in diameter. They're getting bigger now, probably close to 4-5 inches. The GSP isn't visable on a daily basis anymore. I don't want to 'save' the gsp, but I will frag one of these or both if it's viable.

Thanks!
