It doesn't look much like shroom. Texture and body looks more like anemone or something similar

im gonna agree with barry looks like big shrooms

They're hairy mushrooms, I have some in my tank and they can extend to be really wide

There is a posting on R2R where one of these elephant ear shrooms ate a large clown fish!

I think they are large Rhodactis mushrooms. I don't think they are Elephant Ears. The latter are way larger - like dinner-plate size. And yes, they can eat a fish in a hurry.

This is Elephant Ear: http://animal-world.com/Aquarium-Coral-Reefs/Giant-Cup-Mushroom">http://animal-world.com/Aquarium-Coral-Reefs/Giant-Cup-Mushroom</a> They are usually brown or a dull green.

Definitely Rhodactis sp. mushrooms.

What kind of lighting is that under? Mine looked like yours when I bought them but under my T5s they are more red than purple and the base is a lighter green.
