What in the world is this thing?!

I pryed this off of the stalk of one of my button polyps today, it had a tentacle wrapped around the stalk twice and it hung on pretty well. Its center is about the size of a large pea, it has 2 long tentacles coming off each end and a number of small spines. Its lying on the bottom of the tank now and isn't moving. Is it some kind of egg case? Or a parasite of some kind? The polyp that it was hanging onto was doing fine. I looked through the hitchhiker pics and couldn't find it...really weird looking. Hope these pics show enough detail.
