I've never seen anything like this before. It's a shiny purple colored thing growing inside of a hole in the live rock. It kind of reminds me of a balled up bubble tip anemone but I don't see any opening on it and I don't see any tentacles. My guess is it's probably a sponge of some sort...? Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry for the sucky pics...it's the best my camera would do.

Could feel it then you would know if it has sponge like texture but that may damage it
