Found on LR, ID Please

Can anyone tell me what this is and if it's good or bad. I know the pics are not the greatest but I'll give a description.

It's about the size on my pinky fingernail, is totally translucent, looks like a little baby octopus almost, and it looks like it has orangish/yellow little eggs in the head part.

I just need to know if I should get it out.

I'm going to guess aptasia but the pics are blurry (kill it). Other possibility is a sponge (good thing).

Well for now I removed it. Was going take a picture of it after I removed it but it was just a pile of mush.

I've got to figure out the settings on our Nikon D3100 so I can take better pics but we probably need some type of macro lense to get really good closeups.
