its highly bleached...it was deprived of light for so long that the zooxanthale(sp?) have left it.
cant get a positive id on it until it colors up a bit...
what kind of lights do you have over that tank?

wait and see if it colors up a bit and then i can tell you. if it doesnt start coloring up within the next week i would take it back where you got it and ask for a refund....because the only reason you got it for 10 bucks is because they were being irresponsible and sold u a bleached anemone
i g2g for tonight..peace

If it is a LTA it will need to be put on sand. They like to bury there base.

The anemone in question is a Condylactis . Not an M.doreensis. M.doreensis would have clearly visible verrucae. And the color of an anemone is never a way to ID any anemone.
A condy is not a natural host for any clowns and will sometimes make a meal out of you clowns, but there are occasions where clowns will accept this anemone as a host and be perfectly fine. Clowns can sometimes accept very unusual hosts (such as powerheads etc )
Your anemone may have lost a little of its zooxanthallae (bleached) but nothing too severe that it wont recover from with some good feeding and proper lighting
Good luck

Definitely a Condy, it doesn't matter where you place them in the tank. They seem to really like to be between rocks though. They are not use to being a host to clownfish so it might eat your clownfish. Then again you might be lucky like alot of condy owners and have it live peacefully with a clarkii, tomato clown or a maroon. Good luck with your new anemone
