It looks like an anemone. I am not sure of what type though.

Does it have a stony base? It could be a Duncan. Whatever it is, it doesn't look too happy.

Looks like a Long Tentacled Plate Coral to me, Heliofungia actiniformis. Very difficult to keep apparently.

If the base isn't soft, I'd guess condy anemone. Live aquaria has something that looks similar that they're calling a "hatian reef anemone" right now.

Can't be a anoneme because it has a stony base.
