This is a corkscrew anemone.
This is a red snapping shrimp, that I found this morning. One of its claws, the snapping claw, is quite a lot larger than the other. Their snapping apparently wards off intruders and it helps them catch prey. The smaller claw pinches, which startled me at first, but it isn't very painful. The shrimp was about an inch and a half long. Photos taken at about 30 feet.
