ID please...

I know these are the worst pics in the world but its the best I can do. This thing showed up the other day as a small white star snow flake looking thing ( I just thought it was a blob of sand crystals) than disapeared for a day or two and now it looks like a white inflated thing with like white candy cane stripes and little spikes or tentacles at the top it seems to move a little I dont have lights so it cant be anything that needs light.
It's right there in the middle of the pic in the little nook of the rock.

anyone have any guesses???

I was kinda thinking anemone too but wasn't so sure earlier so I never posted. But it's really hard to tell without a better pic.

Wellll, from the looks of your tank description your tank has only been up for less than a month. In that amount of time I think an anemone would still be living only not doing so well. I could be currently slowly dieing. But yes they do need a lot of light to be healthy and thrive.
