The two tentacles make it look like some sort of mollusc, but the orange blob makes me think sponge...
In the composite image it seems like it moves its position relative to the rocks while I was photographing it, plus if I look at it 20 minutes later, it's gone -- so mobile.

Does anyone have an idea what this might be?

Very similar shape to a tiger cowry, that colour is doing my head in do
 
Can we have a pic with a soda can next to it for comparison on size?

Sorry--it's gone back into the rocks now. FWIW, it was about 7-9mm in diameter.
If it shows up again, I'll stick a piece of 3/16" airstem down there with it for scale.
