My lfs only has 3 types of anemones.
Bubble tips, carpet and an Anemone they call as club Anemone. I didn't find any particular info regarding this club Anemone, but the internet showed club tipped Anemone and it's completely different from what I saw. I have attached the video, please if any one know what kind it is and will it host clownfishes.

Hard for my old eyes to see, but from the video, they look possibly like Stichodactyla sp.

We'll wait for others to weigh in.

My friend has a similar looking one but even he doesn't know which species it is.
Check the attached image.

That pic looks like a small(ish) / young Macrodactyla sp. What color is the foot?

They look like beaded nems, Heteractis Aurora. Similar morphology to the Macrodactyla, but they have the beaded tentacles.
Edit: to clarify, they look like very unwell H. Aurora. Not nearly enough light on those animals to keep them healthy.

Thanks for the information and yes they look unhealthy, they are wholesalers and the stocks are immediately sold out most of the time.
