Hello I recently got blastomussa from my lfs and was told it was a blastomussa wellsi but it looks more like a blastomussa merletti to me. Can anyone with more experience tell me which one it is?

Also I noticed yesterday that part of the flesh was folded over on one side of the polyp but it still looks healthy to me. Why could it be doing this
