picked these up yesterday. about 5 inches each when fully open.
and is anyone able to tell me what they are called, the fish store owner said they are hairy mushrooms but im just checking to see if thats 100% correct.

DAAHHHH! Get rid of them now!!! LOL just kidding. They are hairy mushrooms. They are taking over all of my tanks. I started out with 4 and i have no idea how many i have now. They just keep popping up everywhere.

okay, don't be a buzz kill to pipi's new coral.........pipi, it does look like a hairy mushroom (if not I am sure, but one of the experts will jump in pretty quick to correct us if it isn't...lol) and I have one in my tank as well. It has given me a couple of new corals which I have in my frag tank. I will either trade it, sell if to a LFS or enjoy giving to someone that has never had one before. Since they are larger corals they are easier to remove.

It looks like I see a tiny mushroom right in the middle (in the "v" section of the hairy shroom an above that white protruding thing) so you might want to move it as the hairy mushroom will get bigger (and multiply). Mine is the bigger than my hand. I would post a pic but I am at work.

Until then...enjoy your great new coral!

You will like the hairy mushrooms and they do well. We have one rock about 4-5" and it is covered with them. In fact, they are splitting and detaching on their own so we just scoop them up and mount them to other rocks and they are doing great.
