Anemone ID please

[porksoda]

I went to a LFS today and my girlfriend just fell in love with this tiny anemone. It was cheap so I bought it. Now I don't know what kind it actually is. I SHOULD have done more research before purchasing but everyone knows how these impulse buys are. lol.
Unknown Anemone ( The worker said its a mini "Maroon" Anemone) I have never heard of it. Nor can I find any thing about that. It was only $10. I was thinking it is a Condy anemone but This one is so small I don't think its one. Any help will be appreciated! :

FTS with new little anemone. The anemone is in front of the left rock on the sand. if that helps :

New pictures I took today. I just feed it some Tilapia from the deli area at my local Albertsons. Only thing decent I can feed it for now until my LFS gets some silversides in.

Still what everyone thinks it is?

The bead looking tentacles are throwing me off lol.

Some people have told me that mine is either a H. Crispa(Sebae) or H. Aurora(Beaded) hard to tell as of now.

I hate when fish stores do this..
from the looks of it it is VERY bleached out..
I hope it goes good for you..
Sebae's should be actually brownish with purple tips and a tan base..
Sand dwellers, love the bottom.
If it take's food you should be alright!
is it sticky to the touch???
And do you have good powerful lights??

Dont you think the tentacles look totally different?

It's a totally bleached out Sebae. I hope it pulls through.

I believe they are correct. It is a bit bleached out. I feed mine pieces of silversides, I also feed it raw table shrimp.
I believe these to be Heteractis aurora (beaded anemone).

Sorry to say but it looks to be a some what bleached out Condy Anemone
(Condylactis gigantea) aka Haitian Reef Anemone.

You can see a photo of it in the link I've provided. They usually sell these at Petco stores. Their cheap and usually people buy them with the hopes that their clownfishes will play in them / host them, But in most cases clowns will not. Condylactis Anemone is not a natural host for Clownfish, but some people may find the following species to establish a relationship: Cinnamon, Clarkii, Maroon, Sebae, Tomato, Yellow Stripe Maroon.

IMO those tentecles them look nothing like the ones on mine. I am not sure if that makes a difference.

I think I am gonna listen to IPisces. Mine looks like his Heteractis aurora (beaded anemone) but in way better shape.
