Can someone please help me ID this anemone? This is only half of it, it is wrapped around the rock it's on. Thank you

It's not a rock flower anemone.
It's a maxi-mini aka mini carpet anemone (Stichodactyla tapetum)
^ this.

Extremely hardy I have abused mine for roughly 3 years.

No need for me to simmer down, I'm not the one saying the equivalent of "IMO a wolf and a tiger are the same thing"

I wouldn’t go that extreme to say wolf versus tiger I mean if you look at them What separates the two is the fact that one walks and one doesn’t versus tentacle and coloration
You are correct in the ID
 
The point I was making is that rock flowers and maxi-minis are in the same Order (like wolves and tigers) but are different at the Family, Genus, Species level. So while they are both small anemones, they are very distinct from one another.
