Hello any help in the ID of this nem
It’s on the larger size but the shop had no idea what it is

Looks like a condylactis to me. I would not recommend this species due the difficulty involved. Also suggest a pass on any white anemone or coral.
Thank you for your answer i was secretly hoping youd say a Magnifica lol

I don’t fancy a Condy so I’ll leave it be

Thank you.
 
I’m not great at anemone ID but that looks like a mag to me. Though it may be bleached. I’ve never seems a condy that large and their tentacles have never looked as dense as that one appears to be.

@OrionN @PacificEastAquaculture any thoughts?
 
Did you purchase it? It'll be a stunner once it gets acclimated and colors up.
 
Update.

So I picked up the anemone today and moved the H.crispa on as soon as the Crispa was out of the tank the clowns went straight in to the mag. It’s a lot smaller than I though and very bleached but it’s mouth is closed and very sticky so I hope it will get some colour soon.

Thank you for everyone’s input

Other than being bleached, it looks healthy. Sometimes the bleached ones fare better because they no longer have much zooxanthellae (which I think is directly correlated to the ailment we see with a lot of these magnifica).

Since the foot is a nice color--either red or purple--like I said previously once it colors up it'll be a stunner. If it's a red foot, it'll most likely have a cream tentacles, and if purple then it could be many combinations of colors--I've seen purple, green, or blue tipped tentacles, to name a few.
