I can't tell if this is the anemone you have, but it sure looks similar to one I purchase about ten years ago.

About ten years ago there where a bunch of anemones for sale, being sold as GBTA's. I bought one! Nice looking anemone. I don't have a good camera, but here's a picture:

Within a month it split.....never got very big, slightly larger than a quarter. And again, about a month later those split, and before you knew it, I had over fifty of these little guys. I eventually found out that they were Cribrinopsis crassa anemone, a small anemone from the Mediterranean. It never gets big and reproduces like rabbits. I spent a day plucking all there guys out!

There are quite a few ladies here. Sometimes it's hard to know.

I used to give myself more feminine profile names, did not matter people still thought I was male. :oops:
