Can someone @OrionN help identify the species? It was sold as a Haddoni, but I've never seen one with tentacles this long. It's about 10-12 inches in diameter but a bit shrunken in the video. I see green, blue and yellow. This is day 3 in the tank. For some reason, I'm a sucker for buying these things. I've lost 10+ large fish to my carpets but keep buying them... My clowns are literally fighting over it. Night time video just before lights out. Thanks!

 
Looks like Green haddoni but may be lumi limeGreen carpet
 
I'm not sure the video is clear enough for me to agree with any of the identifications of a haddoni. The tents look longer than I would expect for a haddoni and if it's day 3 in the tank and staying on a rock that is more gig like behavior. My haddoni almost exclusively live on the bottom buried in the sand with foot snuggled up to a rock...

I'd agree that this anemone is acting/looking more like a Gigantea so far. A look underneath the edge could settle it though - Gigantea would have pink/purple bumps (verrucae) on the underside, and Haddoni would not.
