It looks like Condylactis gigantea to me. If so, that's an Atlantic species.
Different species of anemones will usually engage in chemical warfare when placed in close proximity.

What size is your tank?
When you bought this anemone, what did the LFS call it?

It's either Condylactis gigantea or C. passiflora. It's hard to tell without more views showing it from different angles and showing the column. In any case, if you paid only $6 for it, it's definitely Condylactis. I'm just not sure which species yet.
