Ok... So I have no explanation for this at all.
A couple weeks ago when TCR in Stratford was having a sale I finally took the plunge and bought my 1st anemone, a beautiful rainbow bubble tip 3-4 inches in size. Unfortunately for me it settled in the back of the tank (tried moving the rock it settled on a few times, but it kept going back to the same spot so I decided to leave to where it was happy. Anyway, on Sunday I was in Blakes and he was having a 30% sale too so after looking for a bit I decided to buy another RBTA (again 3-4 inches in size). This one settled really close to where I put him and hasn't moved since. Now this is where the weird part happens. Last night when I was looking at the tank in the actinics I noticed that my maroon clown was hosting a RBTA in a different location, for a moment I thought that it was one of the 2 that I purchased that had moved, but after further inspection I noticed that the 2 purchased anemones were in the same places they had been previously and this was in fact a 3rd RBTA in my tank. I am 100% certain that I only introduced 2RBTAs, I am also Certain that this is neither of them. I am also 100% certain that there were no anemones in the tank prior to the introduction of the 1st RBTA. I don't have experience with anemones but both of the originals look healthy and neither looks like they split so I really have no explanation for this at all.
