I have had this guy in my tank for a while (years). When I got it it had green body with white stripes. However, due to the low T5 light in my previous tank, the white color stripe was kind of gone.
I don't know if it is an anemone type but recently I discovered it does swallow pellets . I started feeding Fauna Marin LPS pellet to it like daily or every other day and it seem to get bigger fast. It is not as big as the dime yet but maybe in a week or so...

I believe that is a green implosion paly, not a nuclear green.

Reasoning:
1. A nuclear green paly has lighter green lines whereas a green implosion has black lines.
2. A nuclear green paly has two rows of short tentacles on the skirt which are a different color than the main body whereas green implosion has two rows of long tentacles which are bright green like the body.

Thank you. I am 100% sure it is not nuclear green. It has a white color but right now it looks just like the green implosion picture above

there might be more than 1 version of green impolsion or something because it does not look like this one, but it might be a morph.....! corals

It appears close to the one I posted a picture of. They will always have slight variations based on the tank they are in.

There are 3 separate ones posted in this thread. I have all 3 in the same tank, they are different. The 2 that are not nuclear greens, are completely different. The base of their matting is almost calcerous, and if you think nuclear greens get slimy when you cut them, try cutting these things! Worst sliming corals ever. They also eat very aggressively and will even take big meaty mysis or krill.
 
Yep! A nice one too :)
