Looks like an atlantic carpet anemone,,, not a natural host for any clownfish and a notorious fish-eater.

They eat clownfish too.

Very high probability it is S. helianthus, aka Sun Anemone, aka Atlantic Carpet.

As has been shared, not a natural clown host and known to eat fish including unwary clowns.

fwiw: It would not be unusual to find a shrimp or porcelain crab living in one though.

Best of luck.
