What is this? Should I be worried?

Yeah, that photo is pretty bad, I'm sorry about that. I was hoping someone might recognize the critter from the description and the photo together.

The corals you see are actually reflections in the side glass, which is why they look so blurry. The critter is on the inside.

If I see it again, it's taking a baster ride to the drain!

Is it a tiny ball anemone?

Thanks for the suggestion - I wondered about that - I have lots of orange ball anemones all over the place and their tentacles are kind of thready and translucent with opaque white balls on the ends.

This little thing had short-ish knobbly opaque appendages of varying lengths. It appeared to be stuck to the glass by the body, and was holding the piece of seaweed in a couple of the appendages.
