I seen this anemone at a fellow reefers house awhile back but never seen another anemone like it since. It stood alone on the sand and had long vertical tentacles that his clowns were hosting in. If I had to make up a name I'd call it a flowerpot anemone cause it stood beautifully on its own and its base resembles a flowerpot with tentacles on top. Thanks to anyone that could help!
Identify this anemone please

very hard to positively say what it was without a picture. can you discribe the base of the anemone? color, pattern, ect. or the mouth and markings around the mouth? look up condylactis anemone, sebae anemone, or long tentacle anemone. it may be one of those.
thanks for responding i don't think it's any of those it was more rather a expensive anemone. he told me the local store offered him a $80 store credit for the coral. it may have been a Ritteri Anemone although i thought i remember it being nicer. i just specifically remembered liking the vertical structure of the anemone instead of the widespread structure anemone's normally have. it's like the Ritteri Anemone in the picture attached except it looked like that fully extended or least i think it was. if anyone could let me know of other anemone's that fit this description otherwise this might very well be it.. thanks!

this is a Magnificent Anemone not fully opened up either but has that same vertical look i like. thinking about it maybe it wasn't fully extended and could have been anyone of these anemone's lol well if anyone knows of any anemone's that has this look fully extended please let me know.

many types of anemones can take on vertical postures from time to time the anemones you pictured will spread out and have a widespread structure also. one that comes to mind that seems to stay vertical or not so wide is the long tentacle anemone. the ritteri can be very wide and wavy. but as an example of nems that take vertical postures my Rose Bubbletip Anemone sometimes stretches up high and looks like a tree with a large trunk instead of that wavy wide shape they normally hold. who really knows what you saw without a picture it would be hard to help figure out what it was.
