unknown nem

[nuff40]

Any id help would be appreciated. This came in as a hitchiker some time ago, got damaged and split. At that time someone id'd it as a majano nem. I destroyed the split, and something told me not to destroy this one. Was size of a nickle when first found it and now is about 3" across. Has never been any other color except this brown. Tentacles sometimes appear to have bulbs at the ends, but rarely. Onyx clowns have attempted hosting, but it is too small to hold their interest. Has been moved several times (it's rock) and has touched other soft corals without apparent harm to any of them. It sort of appears to have a purple tint, but that could be an effect of the blue led's.

Thanks

Still looks like a majano. But they don't get that big so IDK. Can you get a better picture of the mouth?

Candy Anemone? Never heard of it and any reference online leads back to Condy's. I've never seen a Condy look like this...doesn't mean it isn't one! interesting....will work on the mouth photo. thanks

An LTA wouldn't split, and unless severely stress would be in the sand.

Perhaps a tulip anemone? Also a pest though. It appears to be majano-ish, but quite large. Don't know for sure.
