Hi Buzz,
Was that supposed to be 1 to 1-1/2" long?
How long were the "anemone tentacles" relative to the length of the body? Were they perhaps one-third as long as the body or shorter or longer than that? Were they located on top of the rear one-third of the body? Were there two antennae-looking things protruding forward from the head end of this thing?... long tubular body with anemone tenicles with curled tips...
Do you know what a nudibranch looks like?...greyish body with white spots...

At least 1/3 has the antannas I do not know all the species i had a blue one but look nothing like this one
Okay, so one-third of the dorsal (top) side of this creature has something sticking up, right?
If it's a nudibranch (there are thousands of them), it should have two antenna-looking things coming off the head and it should have exposed gills (branks) on its dorsal side (the back or top side looking down), placed towards the rear, or at least past the halfway point between the front end and the rear end.
It's the exposed gills that I thought you might be describing as looking like anemone tentacles. If it doesn't have exposed gills, then it could be a sea slug that is not a nudibranch.
If it's a nudibranch, then I would remove it because all nudibranchs, without exception, are carnivores.

Checked out a picture of a nudibranch and that is it its buried in the pipe organ when he comes out he will be gone thanks Ninong
Nudibranchs are specialized feeders. Most often when one hitchhikes in on a coral, it's because that coral genus is its prey.

Thanks and now its gone
