Hello everyone.
Yesterday I bought a new anemone, and I can't identify what type it is. The shop recommended it for the bottom part of the tank, and I bought it without researching. I placed it on a new piece of dry rock on a low flow area. Can you help me identify this anemone?

Most likely a condy or possibly a crispa nem. The number of tentacles makes me think a crispa, though.
Now I saw on their websites, it's advertised as Actinia Equina sand anemone, but there isn't much about it on internet, only it says that is super aggressive and it isn't photosynthetic.. But the photos on internet doesn't look like mine. Mine looks like crispa nem, like you said earlier.

Can someone confirm that this is actinia equina, or some other type of anemone?
 
Upon first glance it looks like H. crispa, but the white spots on the oral disc are making me second guess myself.

Also, when researching A. equina, all of the reference images are of a bright red anemone, so I definitely think the store mislabeled it.

Here is a photo from this morning with low white light. It doesn't look like anything I've researched. Can someone more experienced identify this?

That is likely a H. malu. It is a sand bed anemone. I would turn the rock, so he is at the rock-sand interface. He will move and attaches to rock or bottom of the tank, under the sand.

Thank you. As I can see online the foot of mine was reddish/orange color, same as the malu anemone. But by the looks of it I'm not sure yet. I put it on the rock and attached almost immediately. I don't want to bother it a lot because this is the second day since i put it in the tank, and I don't want it to deattach and get sucked by the wave maker.
