Try not to post a bunch of ID pics, but I cannot find anything to compare this to and nobody in my group has seen one. It is hot pink when not open and transluscent pink when open. Opened it's largest today at about quarter size. My confusion is the lack of bulk to the body I'm used to seeing with mushrooms of various types. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here it is after having gone walk about:

And in the little cave it selected as home:

ANY thoughts????

Looks like a discosoma. Probably will become darker when it gets more light. Probably will be somewhat red. My guess.

Thanks for input. I had it in good light, but it let go of the rock and set up house in this little cave area. Still not without light, just not as intense and less flow.

It moved on you because it was not happy where you had it. I think its kinda clear because its still small and it was getting a bit too much light. I think it should thicken up and expand more and get a richer color now that its in a little less light.
Looks like its going to be a beaut!

Agree with you about why it moved. Hope your right about it getting thicker and richer in color. Thanks for reply.
