Hello, never seen a nem like it before. Clear or translucent tentacles with red speckles and a dark oral disk. Anyone?

Tentacle structure is similar as well as the spec look. But this one has specs all over not just on top. And I can't find a red octopus nem. Maybe though
 
Still open mouthed but starting to acclimate. No more opinions?

Please post more pics when fully acclimated.
 
So apparently this nem buries itself entirely in the sand like a tube nem. Not sure if that's normal behavior for all anemones. But it was something I found out after searching for him long enough to crumble my entire Rock work. Awesome.....
 
its more then likely a species of octopus anemone or at least related to it or maybe a corkscrew anemone
 
Can't find one like it. Mine has the color specs on the entirety of the tentacles. Octopus nems have it only on top. And it extend's through the center (mouth). Mine has a dark brown center disk. It is close though. But I cannot find an exact match

Don't know what a corkscrew is. I'll look
