So I got some live rock (yet again) and I found this anemone. What’s is it?

It is not a clownfish hosting anemone. How big is it? It may be a “tulip anemone”

not a BTA or Magnifica
 
Get rid of it now when you can, or else isolate and keep a very close eyes on it. It is a bad, but beautiful pest. Unlike Aptasia where there are biological control for aptasia, there is nothing that will eat Tulip anemone. IME, they will take over a tank and we don't have any choice but to kill the rock and start over. This is a picture I got from the internet, not my picture.
