    Anyone have an Idea if this is a sarcophytan, or toadstool? cant find pics online with polyps retracted and LFS knew as much as i did. got it for $15

    polyps will be out in a week or so i believe, and that will make ID easier, but i am impatient today

    I think toadstools are a type of sarcophyton so technically speaking it is at least a sarco. I'm pretty sure anyways. (though not 100%)
