    Looks like a mix of fungia and a chalice. Has a soft fleshy skirt around the outside of it and has small tenticles all over it.

    Hah, thanks kevin. I dont have them yet, the LFS got them on a trade and wasn't sure what they were yet. I gotta find out what they are selling for, buy one and then let them know. Lol kidding. But I am debating, they have 4 of them I believe. all 2-4" I would estimate
