Pretty sure it’s a LTA (long tentacle anemone) aka macrodactyla doreensis.
To tell for sure, if it’s an LTA, you will see very prominent verracue (spots) under the oral disk and the foot is usually red/pink. See pic below to reference.

Does it have the verrucae that @Rtaylor described? If not, it could be a BTA with long tentacles.
Yeah it has the dots. And it’s done a fair bit of roaming around in the last few days but seems happy on a rock now. It has a large coral colour foot

Congrats on the new anemone! This kind prefers to bury the colored part of the foot in sand, so if it continues to wander that may be something to consider.

Thanks! Tried giving him a sand burial and he was having none of it. He’s reasonably settled now though
