Can anyone identify this? I thought it was a mushroom but saw its tentacles come out this morning

Looks like a species of corynactis to me. It is a colonial anthozoan and closely related to corallimorphs (mushrooms)

Yeah just had a look online and I think that's what it is, is it worth keeping or going to be a pain?
