Yellow, started out flat on rock and now it appears to be growing polyps. Is it a type of coral or sponge? Thank you for taking the time to help me ID this:

Is it hard? Do the polyps retract when you disturb it?

those look like polyps. I agree with above, do the polyps retact?

Looks like some sort of monti. If its hard that would be my guess.

Not sure if it is hard, I can check though. The polyps do retract after lights out.

It looks like a yellow toadstool to me. Some one could of removed one but left a tiny bit that has started to grow.
