Worlds largest majano?

[TropicalReefer]

I'm rather new to the hobby and I've had my tank up for about a year now. This mushroom looking thing popped up and my mom liked it so we just left it, and also began feeding it. I'm not sure if this is what I think it is or not, can anyone enlighten me?

Nah, looks to be something else. Very cool looking! Is the base yellow?

 

[TropicalReefer]

Yes it has a yellow and greenish tint to the base, even blue sometimes. Anyone have a clue on what it is then?

See if you can get a pic of the mouth.

Has it ever moved from that spot? I'm probably wrong but I'm gonna say duncan. In the last few days (one was just on diver's den tonight but is now sold) I have seen some duncans that were branched with long skeletons. I was told that this is how they typically grow in the wild but once they are fragged and in captivity they grown in more of a ball shape.

If it were a majano there would be WAY more of them after a year. If its not spreading than chances are its not a bad thing!

There seems to be one that just sprouted up in the middle of some polyps. But the big one has been in my tank for months now. It has moved once from a small piece of liverock to a bigger piece. I like this guy and don't want to get rid of him if I don't have to. Thanks for the replies!
