LTA?

Thanks!

Definitely not an LTA.

Looks more like an Atlantic species, say Condylactis, from the single picture. If it is a Condy, it is not a natural host for clownfish. Some shrimp and some crabs naturally call them home.

Slim chance it is a BTA, but more pictures would be necessary before I'd lean that way.

it looks like a GBTA

can u get a better pic of the oral disk? does it have white stripes?
 
If the previous owner get this anemone out of his tank because he has an extra one as the result of a division then it is a BTA (unlikely). If his clown fish would not use it as a host and he is getting rid of it, then it most likely a C. gigantea which is an Atlantic anemone species.
