It looks as though it ought to be some kind of coral, and yet . . . Is the more opaque thing underneath it part of the same creature, or is that something different?

@Lionfish Lair might know what that guy is . . .

Oh - welcome to Reef2Reef!

Its the same thing... it has what looks to be a foot or a tail.. its inside a water bottle..

Looks like a long tentacle plate.

I don't know... perhaps some sort of anemone.

It was awkward to have found this on a sand bar and not near any rocks.. either eaybits going back in the water in a few minutes

If it has a column/foot or stalk than it's probably an anemone.
