A Sea Squirt or Tunicate perhaps? These are known to have two individual holes on them.

I may have a picture that will help, take a look at this thread http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2528996

to the OP see if that looks close to what you have, size may vary color may vary but shape will be close. also if it was lifted out of the water it may squirt out water, that is why the name "sea squirt" is used.
if you have one it's a good thing they filter feed like sponges and help clean the water.
