Came across this nem and was curious if it is a magnifica anemone. Thoughts?

It’s hard to give this a proper ID, but color wise it does not look like a magnifica.
 
Here is a picture of a healthy LTA for comparison.

Is that a magnifica anemone? If so, are dots on the underside an indicator like it is for giganteas?
1. This is a picture of an LTA, or Macrodactyla Doreensis, which is what I think you found.

2. Many anemones have verrucae, or dots, on the underside, but they will look slightly different on different species.
 
Would need some better pics. I don’t see the verracue that would indicate m.doreensis (lta). If they are there and just not visible in the pic, then it’s most likely a lta.
Could be a bubbletip. Also don’t see the verracue that would indicate Magnifica (though they are less prominent and can be non-visible on a bleached specimen. Below is the verracue from a red foot magnifica (the spots match the foot). Best guess from the pic provided (which isn’t sufficient for a proper id) would be a bta.

I actually see verrucae, on both sides of the OP's picture that cause me to ID this as a M. doreensis. Here is a cropped picture of this anemone that point out the white verrucae
