Anemone Identification

[Navbear]

Hello, I'm a new member. Bought this nem as a 'Red footed sand anemone' but not sure it is. Can anyone confirm the type? Been in the tank for 3 months.

That is a H. malu.

Thank you! I tried googling but it doesn't seem to match any I find

The positive characteristics here are the different color tentacles at regular intervals, the bands some of the tentacles have, sand animal, color foot, and should have white verrucae at the top of the column. They fo not get larger than 6-8 inches. You won’t have any problem getting Ocellaris or Percula to accept them as host. Very nice anemone for small to medium tanks.

Thank you again!
My percula clown pair have no interest in the nem, they much rather prefer an Elegance coral which has hosted them for quite some time now.
