Latin name for sea anemone?

[Hunk]

Hi all from Russia with love!
Could not find a theme for the issue, so I ask here.
Does anyone know the Latin name of this anemone?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like a small Stichodactyla gigantea. For a certain id, seeing an anemone's column is helpful

Thanks, but this is not a carpet anemone, photo taken from here.

Why do you not think it is a carpet anemone? The picture was taken in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia (in the Coral Sea). I agree with garygb that is is probably a Stichodactyla gigantea. The other possibility is Stichodactyla haddoni (though it doesn't look like one to me). Here's another photo of a baby S. gigantea to compare it to:

Just I've never seen carpet anemone with long tentacles.
It looks more like a Heteractis malu, but blue.

Gigantea carpets have long tentacles. When they are small they do not look much like carpets.
