Haha you guys are wack. I need some expert advice over here, for all i know this could be a yellow tang!

In case anyone wants to id it looks like a ball of algea stuff. Its soft, but doesnt act like algea because it stays in a tight little ball. Its kinda like a cotton ball...

Did it just show up out of nowhere?
Maybe a type of moving anemone? I think I've seen one or something like it at my lfs! Can you get a better picture of it?
I'll see if I can swing by there tomorrow and see if they still have whatever it is

I think you have discovered a new coral! Shall I start the bid at 500$$.

Looks like a nem covered in hairline algae. Have an aiptasia?

Looks like a sponge ball. Is it spongy?

Hmm.. Its a crazy little thing. I will get more pics tomorrow but it is very hairy... Feels like a moss ball (for those freshie people out there )
