So far we have "coral" and "polyp" correct.

I initially thought it might be a brain coral but it doesn't have the ridges. Could it be a mushroom coral?

 

[Barbara L]

Not yet, but it looks like you are hot on the trail.

Is it fire coral then - doesn't quite match the pictures I've seen.

 

[Barbara L]

No. Sorry, but hot wasn't a clue (I thought someone might think it was). Mushroom is kind of a clue though, although I'm not the one who said it.

toadstool leather coral?

 

[Barbara L]

Not yet. Think of mushroom varieties (and remember complicated is not always best).

P.S. Probably too big a clue, but I have got to get very busy around the house, and we also have to go somewhere.

Ok I've got the picture now - button polyp coral.

snack pack's got it. Thought it would last a bit longer. She also was a nurse in the Crimea actually on the battlefields - she was up there with Florence Nightingale in changing things for wounded soldiers.
