This is commonly know nas the bullseye rhodactis. Scientific name, Rhodactis Inchoata.

It is a mushroom coral.

The reason why you see different colours when looking up or down, is because of the glass. The iron or for that manner, minerals in your glass distorts the colour. If you are using crystal glass or low iron glass, this will not happen.

hey sis lemonlemon,

will acrylic have a similar effect on color?

I think acrylic should not cause colour distortion. No metal in it.
