I purchased the Anemone during the Tidal gardens valentines day R2R sale they advertised it as a Pacific rock anemone but after receiving it and letting it settle in it doesn't really look like any RFA I have seen before. Anyone have any idea what it might be if it isn't a RFA?

Close…. It’s a Borneman’s anemone. Unlike RFAs, these will reproduce regularly by splitting off the base. The base will grow a new head and head will grow a new base.

Thank you for the help! But that is disappointing I expected better from Tidal Gardens, I will have to find someone to take it off my hands as I don't have room in this tank for anemones to start spreading out. I wanted a RFA because I heard they were easy and don't move much.
