Nice little Gig on eBay if anyone is looking
At least I’m pretty positive it’s a Gig. Little bleached. The pic on the ad looks crazy but he sent me a pic under whiter lighting. I asked for a pic of the disc to confirm but so far he just sent the below pic. Not sure if I’m allowed to post a link to eBay but if you search carpet anemone it’s one of the first couple results

I wouldn't be surprised if it's S. helianthus. Tentacles look very evenly spread. Gigantea usually show rows of tentacles.

I've seen many helianthus with mottled colors (often white splotches) similar to S. haddoni but much less common with gigantea. I looked on eBay and all of the seller's photos are under heavy actinic/blue light. This could cause the mottled areas to glow.
Even looking at the verrucae could be deceptive, because if all of the photos are under blue light, the orange/brown verrucae of a helianthus could appear to be a different color. Without additional photos -- under normal lighting -- we really won't know for sure.

You won’t love it when it eats your clownfish.
