From the picture it seems to be a tan LTA, Macrodactyla doreensis.

Might be an LTA, pic of base is best for certain ID.
If it is I'd be curious why it's on rocks, wonder what lighting.

hmm, i don't know much about anemone id, but didn't think lta? due to no corkscrew and the fact it seems happily placed on rock.

Mine was seemingly "happy" too way long ago when I had weak lighting, and also on rocks, until I upgraded lighting.
Looks like you can get a pic of the underside/base.
Hard to tell from tents alone, and they don't always corkscrew.

This is a shot in the dark, and the picture isn't helping all that much...

There is a chance that it is a stringy BTA (( E. Quadricolor )). This is an older and very poor picture of one that I used to have...

^that was my thought, bta.. my red bta in my 5x2x2 is long and stringy. I'll try to get a pic of the underside. It's not my anemone, i'm thinking of buying it online.

This is very similar to a LTA that I had back in the day. I didn't have great lighting and it moved up on a rock to get close to the light. But I agree with everybody else that it would be a stretch. Hopefully you are able to get some better pictures.

Well that pic eliminates my first guess, not an LTA.
