thats a Condylactis Gigantea..

It would be nice if the pic was backed up a little, but yeah, I'm thinking Condylactis too.
For one thing, M. doreensis (LTA) would have prominant verrucae and there are none.
 
I originally thought it was a condy, but I thought clowns didn't take up with them normally. Also, do long tentacles have bumps on their base? The orange base on this one looks to be smooth.
 
That would be a Condylactis aka Condy anemone. This anemone has no prominant verrucae. Just because an anemone has the same color base of a LTA and and long tentacles verifies nothing. Its a condy indeed.
 
Yeah...I would say the female is around 2 inches. They have recently been laying eggs often. I would love to learn how to breed them, but I hear that it is tough.
