I thought you were supposed to research this stuff before purchasing it.
Guess not.

No need to be rude. Unfortunately many people learn researching the hard way.

My first guess is a pizza anemone (cryptodendrum adhaesivum) due to contrasting tentacles around the edge of the oral disk. Need better pictures to confirm.

From that picture I would guess S. Tapetum (maxi mini). How large is it?

I'm going with S. helianthus. Not a very nice gift. ;-)

I heard that the tentacles are very toxic to human. Is that right???

You and I are right.
I never own one but was told that they have very potent sting.

I agree that it's a pizza. Much better gift than my originally thought S. helianthus!

i used my bare hands to place it in the tank. Do i need to worry?

Yours is pretty bleached. It will need frequent feeding and very strong lighting.
