In the first picture it looked like a beaded anemone and then in the second it looks like a bta or a sebae..lol Its difficult to say what it is with these pictures. Closer pictures and a picture of its foot would help.
Does it have a red pedal disc? In the first pic, as wicked said, it looks like Heteractis aurora. I'm inclined to think that is what it is. Close up of tentacles could be helpful in id. H. aurora generally have little bumps (swells) on the tentacle and they have a reddish colored foot which they bury in the sand--as yours has. Very nice anemones, not very good host anemones, but fairly hardy. What kind of lighting do you have the anemone under?
t-5's are good for anemones in general. Wwhichever species it is, it looks healthy. As GSM thinks, it could be H. malu. They sometimes have a cream color column. So, maybe H. malu, maybe H. aurora, maybe H. crispa--though I doubt the latter. It's not E. quadricolor--substrate preference and general appearance rule E. quad out. When you get a chance, closer and clearer pics would be helpful for id.
