New Anemone

From the provided pictures, I would lean the ID toward an M. doreensis hoping to find a sand bed to bury in.
If it is an M. doreensis, aka Long Tentacled Anemone, it will be happiest with the foot attached to a hard substrate under the sand. The sand should be deep enough to reach those little white spots, verrucae, on the column.
I personally don't like to have anemones that have not settled in hosting clowns.
Be prepared to feed it 3 times a week with meaty fish and shrimp based meals.
Best of luck LTAs can be very touchy during the first few weeks.

he may do OK if you can position him directly under the MH. Mine basks under a 250 iwasaki in a 72.
Do you have a deep sand bed? They typically prefer to have their foot in 4 or more inches of sand. Mine likes medium flow. I have 2 seio 820s and a mag7 return in my 72 and he picked a spot that moves some of his tentacles most of the time but doesn't toss them around at all.
