Please ID this Anemone

I had one of these in my tank for about 14 months. It started out very small, and grew rather slow. When it got to about two inches round, it split. A couple of weeks after it split, it split again. I now have five of them, all are about the same size as the first one. The only one that splits is the first one I started with.

One thing I forgot to mention is, the foot is a light green color

illcssd, thanks for the ID. From all the research I have done , I am not sure that is what it is. It looks something like the Majano. But it hasn't taken over like everything I have read about it says it will. Maybe it just took a long time to begin to split and is now on it's way to being a pest. Please tell me how you can be sure of what it is.

Do you feed lightly or heavily? Did you change your feeding schedule or amount in the time when you noticed it increasing more? Majano's are slower grower's if they don't have a lot to eat Ime. Its related to a majano, i guarantee that, one of the tulip species. I would nuke it just to be safe as almost all these species of anemone's can reach plague proportions in limited time in home aquaria.
