Unless you like Aptasia... 
I have had aptasia before, this isnt one of them. It lies flat against the rock like a seabae and the tentacles are formed by segmented bubbles. It is also has multiple striped patterns. The picture is fuzzy and the tentacles dont show up, I see that it does look like an aptasia in the pic, I'll try and get a better pic.

It may be a manjo which is equally bad. I think they are more bubble tip like you are describing.

joe's juice will send it to a quick death. I had 15 or so a few months ago and haven't seen a single one since juicin' 'em. I wanted to keep one because it was so big, but I zapped it.

Is it very green under blue actinic? with pink tips?
If so, this is what I had...some refer to it as a Tulip Anemone or Majano Anemone. Mine spread from two or three tiny ones to 50+ in about a year (I got it at last year's frag trade)
I started a thread about them last week and everyone advised using Joe's Juice. Got some this past weekend and POOF they're gone. Simply amazing!
(I left a couple, cause they are kinda pretty under actinics)

My guess is majano, although I've not seen bubbled tips on them. They do have a pattern on the tentacles that could look bubbley. Another possible candidate...if its flat against the rock, relatively wide, and with short tentacles...it might be little rock anemone (although the tentacles in the picture look a bit too long).

I've got majano's that have bubble tips. I'm pretty sure that tulips are not majano's, though. They die too easily. I've had some majano's look kind of like tulips, but they never get as much color (usually a duller green and usually don't have the pink tips). I used a heavy kalk paste (mixed up a bunch of kalk with some water) and practiced majano/Aip genocide in the rock tubs and it seems to have worked well (no returns
).
).

Look over at the critter id on the tampa bay saltwater site (small bead anem on chicken liver sponge). That is atlantic rock isn't it?
