Very pretty, but can't really make an ID without seeing more of the anemone. Hot pink tips are pretty uncommon, maybe a BTA? But the tentacle count seems too high for a BTA.

The closest match for the color pattern that I have seen is a variant of majano called the tulip anemone, but I think those are smaller...
 
No, they usually are much smaller, that's why I am having trouble with giving you any advice on an ID. I was just mentioning them because they have a very similar coloring:

Tulip and BTA were my two guesses as well. It comes down to the size of the anemone to be able to provide a better guess. More specifically, the max size--BTAs will get a lot bigger.
 
those are a variety of majano anemone. very attractive but can certainly take over in the same way aiptasia will.
 
That last picture already shows the tendency of this anemone taken over the aquarium. Some pests are really beautiful.
