Julian Sprung has reported a larger form of S. tapetum that grows to 12 inches across and may warrant a new species. I can't tell from the photo, but does the exterior tentacles have forked tips? If so, it is most likely C. adhesivum. To me it looks like the larger form of S. tapetum.
 
Definitely has the crust looking edge indicating it's a pizza anemone. I've seen a 10" blue mini maxi before so there are some big species out there.

Maxis can also have a "crust", however their crust don't have bifurcate tentacles.
 
Its outer crust seems smooth most of the time but i think i've seen some tiny tentacles during one night. I will look out for them.
 
The tiny tentacles are too tiny for me to be 100% sure whether they are bifurcate but I'm leaning towards the pizza.

Its funny that's its moving around and seem to be trying to face the pair of perculas I added into my tank (they stick to both left side front and back corners). Most likely just a coincidence or its trying to eat them lol.

But from what I read, pizza is not a natural host for perculas :(
 
no that's a mini maxi s.tapetum not s.adhesive which is pizza anemone. I don't even think bz carries them.
