I’m kinda stumped. Does it usually have polyps coming out and it’s just retracted in this pic?

It has small polyps coming out

Pretty sure it’s a toadstool leather. It’s just looks unhappy at the moment

But it doesnt have a foot, its encrusting on the rock

People frag them by cutting off the sides. So it may have just not grown a foot yet. Though could still be a different type I’m unaware of

It must have been a strange one then because ive had it for 2years now 😅
