I've seen theses before but have no idea how people have made out with them. They're are about 3.5"and look more yellow in person. Some have a single slightly longer fuchsia tentacle spaced out at each fold when flexed.
Are they H. malu or could they be a non-clownfish hosting Hawaiian sand anemone variant that will never grow larger than they are now?
Any one keep these longer than six months?

The picture isn't very clear, but it almost looks like a bleached out H. aurora. The reddish base would be consistent with that species, but a clear closeup of the tentacles would be needed to make an accurate id.
 
It look like a H. aurora to me too. I seen these in person a few times. They are not H. malu, which I know well.
 
i had those before payed a fortune. yes it lasted over 6 months exact. It stayed to a good small size until it meet its match, it got stuck in between inside tank and other side overflow box. it was stuck in my overflow box teeth.
great looking piece just make sure you have good rock formation they tend to anchor themselves in a crevice for home. good luck
 
Thanks for the id and link. Some of the yellow ones had a few not so inflated tentacles with a small degree of beading. The store also had a tan stringy tentacled one with beads at regular intervals and blue pinpoint dots on the tips which i saw as H. aurora. These were different enough and i know small M. doreensis and others can display beading.
They're not expensive at $30 but would have to share a aquarium with a purple sebae anemone, and not interesting enough to risk possible negative effects.
