I thought you would call it Pseudocorynactis Reiteri.
Based on what I have been able to find this is correct. I actually got this guy last week and thought it was one of those Orange colored RBTA's. I was concerned because it looked the way that it does in the photo above when I first put it in the tank. I thought that it was just stressed from shipping so I gave it a day to start bubbling up. It still looked the same the next day so I fed it a small piece of silverside and it ate it greedily.
It pretty much stayed the same for the next few days but continued to eat fine so I was mixed on if it was doing good or not.
I woke up a couple of days ago to find my Male Scotts Fairy Wrasse being pulled into this things mouth. I was able to retrive the wrasse but I was unable to save it. At this point I decided to do a little research since RBTA's usually are not this agressive. I came across the same animal on Atlantis Aquarium's site and contacted them to see if they knew what it was. They were not 100% sure so I then inquired in the Anemone section on RC and there were some other people with the same animal. I ended up finding the same link that Daddyjax just posted. I now have it situated in an area of the tank that most of the fish stay away from.

The thought didn't even cross my mind that it was a Corallimorphidae at first because it is probably 6" in dia. when fully expanded.
