Yes but there are several species of carpets. S. Haddoni, s. Gigantea, Atlantic carpet anemones, etc.

From the pic on my phone the tentacles look really short leading me to believe that it is S. Haddoni. Do you have a full shot of it instead of just the close up? I'll take another look at it when i get home on a bigger screen, till then maybe trex or someone can help better ID it

I dont but I measured the tentacles and they are about 5 to 8mm long. And on the bottom side he has the spots coming up the column. I'll try for a better pic tomorrow

the anemone in that picture is 10 inches across? it looks tiny!
if we could see a picture or a detailed description of the underside of this anemone that will greatly help with the ID.

It looks ticked off or not doing so well
Some questions
1.Can you get us a closer full shot of it?
2.Is it staying down by the sand or moving up into the rocks?
3.What type of lighting are you using?
4 How old is the tank?
5. What are you water parameters?

Tank sounds to be running good and old enough. If it is staying toward the sand and not trying to move up into the rocks I would say Haddoni. Plus the tentacles look short. A healthy gig should look like a shaggy carpet,

I'm gonna wait a few weeks before I update pics because I saved him from petco so he could need time to recover from their tank
