It is a LTA. (M. doreensis). It require deep sand bed (3+ inches), bright light (SPS level light) and low current (LPS level current).
That anemone does not look really healthy there. Unless you really know what you are doing, Don't get an anemone. The problem with anemone is if they don't like the condition they are in, they will walk or sail away, right into the PH or overflow and really mess up your tank and kill your fish and corals.

Anemones are not for beginner. Anemone keepers should know what she/he is doing or else she/he is in for a lot of grief. I wish there was someone told me this when I first got into marine and reef aquarium.
