Can anyone identify this carpet anemone?

It's diameter during the day is 12-16 inches depending on how much it expands. It usually has a strange shape when it expands because it carefully goes around neighboring coral (rather than over the top) but likes to stay somewhat flat so it will be potato or star shaped when open. When I bought it, it was listed as snowy carpet anemone. It's red green and white and prefers rocks rather than sand. The blenny that ties stealing its food died from its wounds from the encounter...it was pretty messed up and was about 4+ inches.

I know that s. haddoni will host. My clowns don't avoid it, they just don't care one way or the other. I picked up a maroon today from the LFS that appears to be a hosting *****. In the tank this maroon was bouncing between two condys. Just got him home so fingers crossed he'll snuggle up to the carpet!
I was thinking that it isn't a hosting anemone after that second pic. My clowns avoid my carpet also, I'm not sure of the species though. Everything avoids it, except a comb tooth blenny I used I have that tried to steal its food. It didn't make it out in one piece. Here's a night time flash pic

Info
This anemone is 100 percent an atlantic carpet.
BCT your anemone is a pizza carpet anemone. it should have biforcated tentacles that look like a trident
Atlantic carpets can host clowns but they can also eat them, same as with a condy.
its a gamble.
