it almost looks like a baby condylactis anemone..or perhaps a strawberry anemone. i believe the strawberry anemones are found in cold waters though..

It looks like an anemone, it has a mouth.

So do corals. ;)

Actually, it's neither a Coral or an Anemone. It's a Corallimorphian. It's a Ball Tipped Anemone (Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum). You can read more about Corallimorphians and Pseudocorynactis species here: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/oct2002/invert.htm
