    Yep, it's ball anemones ( or the pseudo). Take a look here:

    Look like nasty little buggers, but cool at the same time.

    im pretty sure its a florida cup coral

    http://floridaliverock.com/cup-coral-on-florida-live-rock/

    or go through these pics and you see a few http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/thepackage/organisms.html it looks like number 14 on the list

    i dont think ball anemones have a hard base like that does

    sponge, don't feel bad. they are very similar and it is hard to tell by a few photos. I am a lot happier to have cup coral as they are pretty harmless from what I've read.
