Came on LR was wondering if some kind of sponge. I noticed some days it looks larger but could be a optical illusion

It's still quite blurry, but but maybe a colonial tunicate of some kind? (See the quote below for some examples to compare with.)
Haha, yeah sorry - that's part of why I threw in the TLDR at the bottom there. Here are some photos of colonial tunicates with similar body structure (and some with - from what I can tell - similar coloration) to help decide if it is a colonial tunicate:

(The two above images are from here: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/14/11/977 )

And the link below has a bunch more pics (some are different colonial tunicates like above, some are solitary tunicates):
If it's not a colonial tunicate, then maybe an anemone or a coral of some kind would be my next guess.

I think I'll go with tunicate. Looks like a single left from a colony. I'm using a z fold so not the best camera for zooming. There's a few things I don't know what they are but can't get a solid pic.
