looks like a bleached rock flower anemone that is also reaching its tentacles for light/food. Petcos near me get some in like this
got a few others to confirm it was an RFA as well , thank you - that is all I needed to know to get it! I am super excited to see how this one colors up

That should be fun to see wat happens, good luck. Might help to have some cipro on hand just in case a bacterial infection takes hold of it

Thank you! I am not worried - it actually looks in very good health besides the browning/bleaching. Still sticky tentacles, is very large and extending out at the store, no sign of any damage at all, and was grabbing onto the plastic while acclimating. I threw it in corner of the tank where its dark to let it get used to my lights. I just wanted to make sure before getting it it was 100% a RFA because anemones are always so hard to get out.

I can see a lot of coloration already just from the new lights - looks like it has green tentacles and I think some green in the middle area also.
