Got this at my lfs as a long tentacle anemone. I'm not sure this is correct. It's about 5" across and the colors are pretty close to the pic

It is H. malu. The ID characteristic that show that it is and Malu is the group of diffident color tentacles evenly distribute on the oral plates. Not all Malu have them, but an appropriate anemone that have these markings are H. malu.

that looks right! Thanks so much. Looks like it will be a bit harder to keep than expected, but i'm confident :).

Any care tips? I put it in high light with medium flow and between sandbed and rock.
 
Actually its probably a little easier to keep than an LTA. The bonus is, it looks to be in great shape.
