It's blurry, reminds me of a green carpet.

To me it looks like a Open Brain Trachyphyllia Geoffroyi with several mouths.

I have to forward with Jahdiel and NM354 on this one also. It is definitely either a multiple-mouthed Trachyphyllia or similar mussid. I lean toward the latter, since the texture is not quite on par with Trachyphyllia.
