    Could you post the picture as an attachment? Maybe that would help if the original picture is larger that what you have in your post above.

    Okay, try describing it instead. Is that a mouth I see in the center? Does it have a column and foot? In other words, how is it attached?

    Are those short stubby tentacles? I really can't see very well.

    What does it look like to you? Does it look like some sort of mushroom or anemone or something else entirely?

    its attached by one foot to the rock, and it seems like it doesn't have a mouth, and it seems that its tentacles are little bubbles.

    Looks like a ricordea.

    You can see a number examples of them here.
