Need to ID anemone

Hi, everybody! I'm new to the site and to keeping a salt water system. I've been keeping freshwater planted tanks for many years, and finally moved to salt water a few months ago. I took over a system that was running for years, but the guy sold off his stock. Good thing is I have a fairly well established system and get to stock it how I choose. I recently purchased this anemone pictured here, but it was just labeled "anemone" at the store. In my excitement to get this addition home to a Clarkii I have in the tank I didn't think to secure the exact species form the store attendant. Now I'm not even sure my Clarkii can be hosted in this anemone... I'm hoping you can help me ID it (I tried looking at the forums listing pics of different anemone species and just keep second guessing myself).
Sorry this is not a great pic. I had to use my smart phone. The tentacles are white to pale purple and the column is a light purple/pink color similar to the color of the oral disc. the vermiculi (sp?) are very small. I think it's a small magnificent anemone, but I'm not sure.

Agree with the above. I think condy's are from the atlantic and do not host clowns. There may be an off chance that they do, but I do not believe its common. Usually the price of the condy gives it away
 
Get your nutrients and such under control first. What are your parameters? Is your tank even able to host an anemone? Clean water?

Yes, parameters are all stable. after taking over the tank I ran it for the last 2+ months to ensure everything checked out. The system is actually 4+ years old. I turned the sand bed and rearranged the rocks when I first took over the tank. I also added a new sump and protein skimmer right away. Lighting is 2 MHs, 2 T4s, and 3 actinic LEDs. tank is 125 US gal.
