Yep
Toadstool. Cool little coral. Very hardy but a little "moody".

I have a massive white tip toadstool in my lps/nps reef and for the first month it was very moody, if a crab touched it would close up for a week. Now he stays open 24/7 even with a crab stays on top of it.
P.s every month or so your toadstool will close up and shed off its skin to grow and to remove algae and other sorts of life. |

I see some sort of caulerpa in your tank, I would remove it before it gets invasive.
