This is a Giant Anemone.... not so giant in the context of the whole world but the biggest in the anemone world, about 12in.

What we see are the tentacles.... in this case white, with just a bit of a greenish tint. The tips are often swollen, as some in this pixture are and if you zoom in a bit you will see the texture on the stems of those tentacles.

You will most often find them in a rocky section of the wall or reef, where they can fit their bodies down into a safe hole or crevice.
