I can't speak to the precise species, but as with your previous find these should actually be the related genus Ploesoma, since the foot attaches halfway up the body and has developed toes.

I think that my problem is solved. Thanks to actinophrys. His suggestion is correct. It's Ploesoma truncatum or hudsoni.
