Live Rock Help

[Barbara1]

I noticed something growing on my live rock and not sure what it is...can someone please shed some light? It's grey and shaped liked a mushroom but still too small to tell. I Will attach a photo as soon as I figure out how .

Looks like some kind of toadstool coral

It definitely looks like a toadstool coral. Does it gave any small polyps that open up on the top of it?

It seems like little polyps are visible on the outer edges. I don't have coral lighting, just standard one bulb fluorescent that came with the aquarium. Can it survive with regular lighting?

Thank you for your feedback

Thank you, do toad stool coral need special lighting because I currently have basic fluorescent bulb.

I would try to upgrade the lighting if possible. Toadstools like to be directly under the light. I would move him up gradually until you can get him as close to the light as possible.
