I see these anemones listed pretty regularly on Ebay in the UK, but I've never seen them elsewhere. Has anyone ever shipped from the UK, or has anyone seen these in the U.S.? I'm kinda obsessed with them now, lol.

Could be wrong, but it looks like a Sebae anemone. A quick search turned up 4 vendors that carry it (on the first page of the search results). saltwaterfish.com and vividaquariums.com have them in stock right now, but the blue tip instead of the purple tips.

Looks like a blue tip Sebae (Possibly this photo has been slightly enhanced though) so just beware.
I'm fairly certain these aren't sebae anemones. The sebae anemones only have purple at the tip, not stretching further down the tentacles like in the picture. Also, from what I'm learning, I think these split regularly, which sebae anemones do not do.
 
It almost looks like a long tentacle anemone to me. If you look up green long tentacle anemones there are some out there with the purple just like that.

The purple looks more comparable to the pic you posted.
 
Here's another picture from another seller (definitely enhanced this time). Seems almost like a BTA to me, but different somehow.

they come in blue, purple, and all white. What's the beware all about?
Maybe even yellow ,green,and pink also as always see these at the lfs's near me.
I'm not expert on anemones so maybe same kind as in picture or a different kind who knows but sure do look like ones I always see
 
Looks like a Condy to me. Their not known for hosting clownfish (although I had a big tomato clown that hosted in one) and they have a pretty good sting.

This was very helpful, it looks like it is an less common condy - Condylactis Aurantiaca. Now I just need to get me one!
