These things are also called Elephant Ear Mushrooms.  They can eat fish, so you have to watch it, but when it's open it should look like a big 'shroom.

Don't mean to threadjack but when Funkmotor mentioned they can eat fish, LOL CRY...
I have an Elegance coral about the size of a football that eats fish, to be more exact, it eats ONLY my Powder brown tangs.
I gave up on Powder Browns after it ate my second perfictly Healthy one.
My yellow tang can stick its nose right in there but as soon as a powder brown follows the yellow, Goodby brownie.
Some of these corals can be expensive on fish.
There is nothing more dissapointing than seeing your favorite fishes tail sticking out of a corals mouth
