Does not appear to be any of the hosting species.
Need a better picture of the tentacle branching, column, and maybe mouth to narrow it down, but at that size a precise species ID is going to be tough.
Have you tried to feed it yet?
Any idea of source?

Very interersting little guy, but I don't recognize enough specific characteristics to narrow down even to the genus. The picture is good, my knowledge is lacking. There are a few candidates, but they would be strictly meaningless guesses 
If it were mine, I would try to grow it out in semi isolation to see if it grew up
btw: it may pack a whopper of a sting, be extremely careful with it.

Hi Fridmani, been awhile, hope you have been well :>)
C. adhaesivum is a candidate, but the secondary branching like antlers, the colored bulbs, and the lack of "spotting" on the column, tend to be eliminators.
It would be interesting to get some pictures at night to eliminate Phyllodiscus species:

It will be fun to keep track of it as it grows out

Phyllodiscus was my best guess as well. It does at least look like an Aliciid anemone, though, so maybe that will narrow it down a little. This contains others, like Lebrunia, with peculiarly branched tentacles like that.
