Question about an anemone

[majorpayne360]

Can any one tell me what kind of anemone this is and a little info on him thanks.

 

[majorpayne360]

Today I was told it was some type of carpet if so what kind.

thats a leather coral i think

Definately not a carpet of the genus Stichodactlya. If that is an anemone I have never see one like that before. That's very odd looking.

Heterodactyla hemprichii

indo-pacific

When it is open it's about 6.5 to 7 inches not too big.
