Chat is saying this is a ball anemone or a cup coral. I have my doubts on both based on photos I see online. Can anyone identify it? It quickly retracts completely when something gets close.

Could be a feather duster type. Details are hard to makes out so I am not ruling out Aipitasia.
 
It doesn't look like a Ball Anemone.

Im thinking the "tentacles" look more Aiptasia or Lightbulb Anemone (leaning more Lightbulb?). Any possibility of shining a flashlight and showing us where it hides its foot?
 
It doesn’t move. Stays there I’d think a worm would move?
Feather duster worms don't usually move. They build a tube and live there.
