This is my first coral so I went with something cheap and easy after doing my research but my brain did a funk and I forgot what type this is. Currently doing a dip and need advice if those small white spots. Also is this a mushroom correct? Don't mind the gross bits (just dip crusty's)

Looks like a mushroom for sure; about as far away from SPS as you could get haha. Disagree on actinodiscus, those are smooth for the most part. Looks like a somewhat bleached ricordea, at this stage of bleaching it's hard to tell if it's yuma or florida.

It was in the SPS section of my LFS. This is my first coral so I am not 100% on all the terms, just the basic care. And I assumed minor bleaching. I wanted a cheap and easy beginner coral.
