Not an anemone then...but I'm not totally sold on it being a sponge or tunicate either. Try sending your pics to Wet Web Media. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ click on "Ask WWM". They are quick at replying.

Out of curiosity I emailed them, they believe it to be either:
Eudistoma sp. Heron Island, Capricorn Group, Queensland, Australia.

or possibly
Distaplia occidentalis

It could be either, but I can't seem to get a good enough look at the one in the tank as it is at a funny angle and it hidden behind mushrooms.
