For my curiosity what is the scientific name of the "horse tip" anemone. The reason why I ask is, the only anemone I have ever heard with the word horse in it is a horse anemone, which is also called a Beadlet anemone. These are considered one of the hardiest anemones you can have. They are much less sensitive to temperature differences than other anemones. They are very adaptive, and able to thrive in almost all temperatures. They are found in the NE Atlantic among other places. They have also been recorded in temperatures ranging 35*F-82*F and in salinity levels from Brackish 14-16ppt to reef salinity @ 35ppt. Your picture does not look like these anemones look. IMO yours could either be a Heteractis crispa aka Sebae Anemone or a C. gigantea AKA Condylactis Anemone. Beadlet anemones are very common to cold water systems because of their hardiness.
The first pic below is a horse anemone or beadlet and the second is a condy I focused on the tenticles because the are almost identical to yours...

FYI If I were to take a guess, even though I am not an expert your anemone is a Heteractis crispa AKA Sebae Anemone...
Here is a pic of one, identical to yours...

Its very possible, I wouldnt doubt it...in any case, my intentions were to help inform the OP and the interested party as this was clearly an identity issue.

Although several anemones are commonly called Sebae Anemones, this record is concerned with the species Heteractis malu. There is much controversy concerning the ease of care of these anemones; some claim they are hardy once established, while others claim that Sebae Anemones are rather difficult to care for.
The Sebae Anemone is often a good host for certain shrimp, Damsel Fish, and Clown Fish. Sebae Anemones may react aggressively, however, to non-symbiotic species in their aquariums. They can be sensitive to toxins or chemicals released by other anemones. Often, the presence of other anemones may harm Sebae Anemones. These anemones generally require bright lighting and a moderate current. As with all anemones, water quality should be kept high.
A wide variety of colors are seen on Sebae Anemones. However, some colors are dyed onto the anemone, rather than occurring naturally. Naturally occurring colors include white, pink, red, cream, yellow, and tan. These anemones are often dyed yellow and pink. When the base and tentacles are different colors it indicates natural coloring. Some Sebae Anemones may take on greenish hues when viewed under actinic lighting. Often, the tips of the Sebae Anemone's tentacles are magenta in color, but some specimens have yellow-green tentacle tips. Sebae Anemones that are tan in color seem to live longer than other specimens, particularly white ones. It is believed that white Sebae Anemones may have lost most of the symbiotic algae that provides food for them, and many claim that white specimens do not live long and may not thrive.
They are generally not long lived in captivity, and many people contend that despite their relative abundance in the pet trade, these anemones may not be the best choice for a beginning marine aquarist. The widespread disputes over the characteristics and ease of care of Sebae Anemones may be exacerbated by the application of the common name Sebae Anemone to multiple anemone species.

Bright lighting is preferred for Sebae Anemones. Temperatures between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit (23 to 26 degrees Celsius) and a specific gravity of at least 1.023 are generally acceptable. The pH value should be 8.3 or 8.4. Sebae Anemones can do well on a sandy substrate or rock where they will secure themselves in the crevices. These anemones often do not do well in an aquarium containing other anemones, and the Carpet Anemone in particular has been reported to release a toxin unhealthy for Sebae Anemones. Sebae Anemones may be used as hosts for some Clown Fish, some Damsel Fish, and some shrimp. As with all anemones, if your anemone is doing well and appears healthy, do not feed it. Feeding is only necessary if the anemone is not getting enough food naturally. If your anemone is gradually getting smaller, you may offer it small pieces of food. Anemones may glean food from the water flowing over them and photosynthesis. Some people recommend feeding solid foods about once each week. Fresh fish, crustaceans, clams, and shrimp can be offered.

I Emailed You. But Thanks For The Accusations On Blocking Your Email And Killing My Anemone That I Had For Over A Year. You Have An Email Waiting For You...i Tried To Pm You But You Have No Where For Someone To Pm You. Don't Accuse Someone Of Something Unless You Have Proof. This Can Be Delt With Over Emails, Not On These Threads. There Is Insurance And Delivery Conformation On Everything I Send. I Need To See Pictures And Proof That It Is Dead. When I Shipped It It Was Alive And Healthy.
