Im pretty sure either hitchhiker bubbletip anemone or tulip anemone. I dont think its a mojano even though they come in different color shades..

I have something similar and mine is a rose anemone, which likes brine shrimp a lot. When eating it contracts itself and later it goes back and enlarge itself. Moves around until it get a safe and good lighted spot.
 
It's not that big yet. To be honest with you, it was on the underside of a rock and I guess was getting just enough light to keep alive. When I reaquascaped and then took all the rock out for hypo, I discovered it. Is there any type of value for something like this?

you might want to keep, after sometime they split/reproduce itself. Aprox $90 to $110 each


Well I guess to someone who doesnt know what they are buying, you might be able to pull off that kind of price.
Unless thats a rose BTA, (not likely) your prob looking at just a BTA std color nothing fancy. 4" specimen can be bought for about $30.00. That is if it is a bubble tip anemone, still up for debate IMO.

hoe big is not to big? my first thought is a manjanoe anemone that can become a pest in the home tanks.
keep a very close eye on it if it stays small and starts to reproduce then its a deffinate manjanoe species of some sort. could be the tulip aswell.
