Lol. Not unless the heliofungia develop a foot like that in the picture.

Looks more like an LTA (Macrodactyla doreensis) to me with the dark underside and the prominent verrucae. You would normally expect a red foot, but sometimes that fades when they are under stress.

Yes, they can have purple tips.
Column and verrucae look like those of a Macrodactyla doreensis.
The place it picked on the sand also fits an LTA.

Tentacles seem to have the typical corkscrew twist and the whitish stripes from the tentacle bases towards the mouth also fit - it's a LTA for sure.
