Without a picture, we can't be certain. Since you say it has a crown shape mouth, I would guess it might be a cucumber.

i betcha its one of those coral eating ones

all white, lacy looking with a mouth that looks like a crinkly fan

if its a hitchhiker and came with a new soft coral i bet its a baddie
