It is right on the edge of thick glass so I’m having trouble getting it to focus if the angle is too steep.Can you get a top-down, straight-on pic of the mouth?
Seeing could help with saying for certain, but as is I'm relatively confident it's an Edwardsiid (taxonomic family Edwardsiidae) anemone, sometimes called "Worm Anemones."It is right on the edge of thick glass so I’m having trouble getting it to focus if the angle is too steep.
I didn't even see the arms lol
This thing is adorable! And I'm fairly convinced it's an anemone after this picture.

Assuming it's in a tropical tank, that would narrow the possible genera down to five different ones (Edwardsia, Edwardsianthus, Edwardsiella, Nematostella, and Scolanthus [Edit: forgot Paraedwardsia, though it's an unlikely one]); out of those, an Edwardsia sp. seems the most likely to me - unfortunately, the genus contains dozens of species and I haven't looked through them all, so I'm not sure which one at this point, but here are two (linked below) that look relatively close:
Edwardsia sp.02 Burrowing sea anemone, Sand anemone
Edwardsia sp.02is commonly referred to as Burrowing sea anemone, Sand anemone. Difficulty in the aquarium: Very easy. A aquarium size of at least 20 Liter is recommended. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.reeflex.netEdwardsia sp.03 Burrowing Sea Anemone
Edwardsia sp.03is commonly referred to as Burrowing Sea Anemone. Difficulty in the aquarium: There are no reports available yet that this animal has already been kept in captivity successfully. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.reeflex.net
Haha, they are pretty cool - lots of neat coldwater species in the family too.... And now I need one.
It looks quite a lot like starlet sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis), thank you for your help!Seeing could help with saying for certain, but as is I'm relatively confident it's an Edwardsiid (taxonomic family Edwardsiidae) anemone, sometimes called "Worm Anemones."
