I added an anemone a few days again and the clowns just begin hosting in it. It for sure picked where is was going to attach to. Does this look like enough flow? Worried to mess with it cause I actually like where is finally attached.

Also what kind of anemone is this?

 
Looks like a long tentacle anemone. They like to bury their foot in the substrate so looks to be a perfect placement. Flow looks good as well.
 
I agree that it is a LTA, M. doreensis.
As far as anemones goes, LTA require a fairly deep sand bed, or it will move around trying to find it. Lower light requirement than other host anemones, other than BTA. It likely require light level c/w LPS. It needs lower flow . Your flow seem to be about perfect for LTA, I don't know how deep your sand there is, but it would be happy with 2+ inches.
 
Thanks for the input. It’s in about 2-3” of sand. I appreciate the info from both of you.
