    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?

    if you try to move it, it will move where it wants to anyway, a endless battle fi you dont like where it likes to be. you will move and the next day it will be somewhere else. why they are not good with corals, they move to much and easily at that. well that and they are stronger and more aggressive than most corals.
    also i think ninong is right its a Condylactis gigantea. if it is beware these guys get huge, i mean HUGE.

    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.
