My gsp has not been opening fully for the last 2-3 weeks I just noticed this clearish looking thing growing near the bottom I thought it was aptasia at first but it doesnt really look like it. Could anybody identify what it is? and is this the reason my gsp has been closed? I attached a couple pictures and a video let me know what y’all think

I agree, that looks like a ball anemone to me too. Typically, they don't cause too much trouble, but you can remove it if you think it may be bothering your GSP. One method is to inject it with lemon juice or white vinegar like you can do for Aptasia. In my state, I can buy a single insulin syringe at any pharmacy for like 50 cents, but I know in some states they don't allow that.
