I had a new hot water heater installed about 18 months ago. It's working all right
but I found this small copper thing at the bottom of it. It's about an inch, maybe a little less.

Looks like a short length of copper pipe with a compression ring .... probably just cut off & left behind by whoever installed your new heater.
