Anemone I.D. please!

Hi, I have now seen two of these nems around (Australia) but am not sure on species.

Can someone I.D. it for me?
TIA

Looks like a bubble tip anemone to me, but cant 100% tell with the given pics. Does it have white lines around the mouth? Any pics of the column?

The distribution of them doesn't seem to line up :/

The one I have seen regularly from a friend's tank nevef extends enough to show the column. It stays flat to the rocks and is 20cm across I think? Very dense, short, pointy tentacles in a ring around the outside but not the inside.

Is it possible to get a picture of the base? Really helps in identifying anemones

Green button anemone

Looks like a anthopleura xanthogrammica (think I spelled that right lol). Would need to see the mouth to be sure.

We are on the track of Condylactis gigantea at the moment. Only problem with getting a photo of certain parts is I don't own it. I only got sent a photo from someone, who got it sent to them asking for I.D., I don't even know who owns it, or where it is.
