May be some type of scale worm. I'd remove it.

Worm Hitch Hikers

I have looked at that but it does not look like any of them it looks like an anem but long

 

[Jason edwards]

For some reason it reminds me of an ugly colored tongue coral

 

[Connie]

How big is it?

 

[zwulfke]

I was careful to remove him but he must of been there for a while it's not a worm it's hard does not move other than the hairs it was attached like a sea squirt I put this into a separate part so he can't go anywhere he just reattached to the bottom and looks happy He is about 2 in

Something like that or maybe a leather coral like a toadstool.

Can you describe the texture/feel of it?
