Is this some type of hydroid or a coral/anemone, or what? It is about 3mm across. Sorry, this is the best picture I could get.

What does the white body look like?  There are some tunicates that look similar to this.

This picture actually shows it better than looking at it with the eye, so I can't give a good answer for that question. I can't find it in my system anymore so I guess it doesn't matter anyway, still I'm curious. I thought it might be a non-photosynthetic coral hitchhiker. The tentacles look somewhat like sun coral tentacles. But the pattern doesn't look right and it was on the sand.
