I just bought this nem about an hour ago. It was labeled as a carpet anemone with no scientific name. I want to know what kind it is so I can place it in the best spot possible.

Any help is appreciated!

It looks like a S. gigantea. However, if you post a clear, in focus picture of the column I can tell for sure. The upper column near the oral plate.
 
Yep, stichodactyla gigantea.

Not sure if these pics are good enough

I want to see the verrucae on the column. It is hard to see. That anemone is at least a Gigante-Haddoni hybrid, or else a full Gigantea. Tine will tell. When he is healthier and less stressed, we can easily tell.
