Golden ToadStool? What do you think?

So I recently aquired this beautiful Leather Coral, its a big one too, I really like it, and seems to be doing well. It was called a "Golden ToadStool" but I have never seen one like this before, I have a Tyree Neon Green ToadStool, but this one looks nothing like it, most of the toadstools I have seen have little polypy fingers at the end, but this one doesn't. It just has what you see below. It has this teal greenish cap with brown polyps.

I was wondering if anyone had ever seen one like this, is it a certain "type" of toadstool? I would love to identify what kind of toadstool it is...if anyone has one like it let me know, I would love to hear what info you have on them. Is this just a regular ol toadstool leather coral? Whatever it is, I really like it:bigeyes:

Here are some crappy pics...

I kind of wonder if it does have the "tips" on the polyps. I have a similar one in my tank (about the size of a volleyball) that will sometimes not open its "tips" like yours.

As for colors, mine is very similar but does not have the teal greenish cap like yours. Nice find
 
Its a toadstool (Sarcophyton sp). It does have those little tentacles, just some leathers, in some conditions, dont always put them out. Looks good though.
