What is this? - Aquarium Advice

It's a hitchhiker on my cured LR. No idea what it is, it's been growing out of the LR for a week now and looks like it's about to open up.

I've got some other stuff that is growing out here and there that is pretty neat, some small featherdusters, some other things.

Not a clue -- but I do know from watching a lot of horror movies that whole cities have been devoured by something like this growing up -- It was nice knowing you

does it look like a button polyp - or does it look like a mushroom - i think mushroom. Either way - you lucked out cause they will probably multiply big time!
