Coral ID help

Hey!

Does anyone know what kind of coral this is? Circular, soft(i think?) and has 1 mouth in the middle.

Thanks!

I checked google and I dont think it's an hydnophora. It has the shape and form(roundish, one mouth, soft) as a ricordea but it doesn't really look like one?

Soft tissue all the way through, or just soft tissue covering a hard skeleton? It might not be a Hydnophora, but here's a picture of another one just for reference.



If it is soft all the way through, perhaps it's just a hairy mushroom. Something similar to the one in this link.
