What's this?

I took a picture of something(http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/7132/sort/1/cat/691/page/1) and couldn't figure out what it is.

I have seen purple ones in the water too. Is it an anemone?

Yes it's a tube anemone. We have similar anemones in New England Cerianthus borealis is our local species.
