Is this....

... any thing interesting? I found it in a rockpool yesterday. I am not sure if there are several differnt things here or it is one thing partly buried.
The water was a bit too deep and cold for me to take out and investigate and I had no tray or anything to put it in while I looked more closely.

There looks as if there are tentacles or something on the round thing?

Just a guess but it looks like jellyfish to me, or two dead jellyfish to be more precise, the lower one is still whole but upside down while the upper one is breaking up.

Yes, the bottom item looks like jellyfish so the other is likely to be part of the same animal. Not easy things to identify after natural death.
