Not an anemone expert, but that looks like a Fire anemone (Actinodendron sp.) to me. DO NOT TOUCH IT!

I'm leaning towards a beaded anemone but can't find a great deal about them, I've touched it a few times and not had any reaction

To be fair, you can pet a crocodile's nose a few times without getting bit, until the crocodile decides to bite you. I wouldn't push it without knowing exactly what you're dealing with ;Pompus

no I'm not planning to! the fire anemone from what I can find seems to present itself at times similar to how Kenya trees do, this doesn't.... I'm considering removing it from the tank but want to know what it is first

I gotta say, fire anemone as well. Which species, I have no idea.

Hell's Fire Anemone | Animal World

The Hell’s Fire Anemone looks a lot like a coral, but beware of their much more powerful sting! The Hell’s Fire Anemone Actinodendron plumosum looks more like a coral, but is actually a burrowing anemone. They bury their foot and body in the sand with only their oral disc and tentacles emerging...

I think it does look like a fire anemone, if you check this link: http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/cnidaria/actiniaria/actinodendron.htm the first picture looks a lot like the picture you posted. I think the big bushy ones are just larger fire anemones

I second that too.. it does look like a fire anemone.

That’s a Borneman Anemone. NOT a fire anemone

Thank you having found others it has the stripes down its stem also! didn't think it was a fire nem

What’s the sting like?

To a human everyone has different reactions. I touch my nems (Carpet, bubble tips, LTAs) with my barehands and never had a reaction to them. Other people have had bad reactions to a bubble tip sting . It’s hard to say what the sting is like

This is correct

Sting isn't to bad. They do split, mine have gone from 2 to 4 in about 8 months.
