Dear Oren,
Yes this is a damaged C. livida. It seems there has been some regrowth after the 'accident' as there seems to be some extra bits and pieces. The crescent of white fuzzy stuff you can see halfway along the body is part of the gills which are usually hidden under the very distorted posteriopr flaps of tissue which normally for a posterior facing funnel.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
