What kind of coral is this?

Under water it's got neon green spots and a neon orange mouth. My camera can't capture them though. It's slimy and does not give when pushed. It's hard, but not like a piece of rock, just solid. Sorry for the poor pic

My guess would have been a sponge, but if it's hard then it couldn't be. It's kinda hard to tell from the picture.

It's for sure a coral. Has a mouth- an orange circle. And green spots. Both orange and green are light, like they have lost color, but they are clearly visible in person. And has coral mucos....

I know, I am sorry

My camera is beyond bad

It reminds me of a shroom, but is solid and thick

Here is another pic

Maybe a bleached ric?

Ricordia? Too solid and thick....

It's about a half inch thick and does not give if you squeeze. Maybe a TINY bit....but it's not soft like any mushroom

It's grown around the rock as well

Are candy canes kind of solid when you touch them?
