It's a S. Helianthus. Not a host anemone, so be careful.

Take it back, take it back... If you are planning to have it host a couple of clowns. Otherwise they are nice specimen.

Yeah, Stichodactyla helianthus is a Caribbean species (no clowns naturally in that ocean) that is known to eat fish, probably even clownfish.

Check out Marine Solutions. Apparently they just got a couple in.
