Anemone help???

I'll start off by saying that I'm a new member to this forum, but have been using everyone's advice to help me progress with this hobby. I thought I'd join because I have a question about my own tank...So, thanks in advance! =)
I've had this anemone for probably a total of 3 months now. I bought it from a LFS as a 'bubble tip anemone'. When I brought it home, it took right to the rock that it still sits on til this day. 3 months ago this thing was the size of the inside of my palm. My Ocellarius Clown fell in love almost instantly.
My question is...Can anyone identify and confirm that this is in fact a 'bubble tip anemone'? Or identify if it is something different...? I know the photo I attached makes it look more orange, but the tips are a light green. I guess I'm just behooved that this puppy grew so BIG just in 3 months.
I've currently got the metal halide upgrade in my 29gal BioCube. This anemone stretches towards the top of the tank while the lights are on, then of course deflates itself when the lights go out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this thing grew this fast thus far...I must be doing something right and again, I thank you all for your advice to help me get my tank where it is today.

This is not a bubble tip, bubble tips have round tenicals.
Yours looks like a Haitian, its sting is very strong and will kill anything it touches. I had one once it took over half of my 20gal, had to get rid of it.

Green like this? Then it is a long tentacle anemone. Most bubble tips have some sort of bulge to there tentacles like thus.
Haven't found a picture that looks like your anemone.

hey IBEW41 its been fun , but it looks like the thread starter has lost interest in his own thread and we are the only ones who cares about his anemone. I took a peak at your photos in your profile very nice tank love the colors especially the coral you tag as grape crush, awesome piece.
