I would say Entacmaea quadricolor
Is the column smooth?
(RÜPPELL AND LEUCKART, 1828) http://www.nhm.ku.edu/inverts/ebooks/img0085.jpg
Bulb-Tentacle Sea Anemone
Original description As Actinia quadricolor, from specimens collected in the Red Sea, near Suez
Other names previously used include Gyrostoma heliant[h]us (by Fishelson 1970, Masry 1971, Fricke 1974), G. quadricolor (by Fishelson 1970, Fricke 1974), Physobrachia ramsayi (by Mariscal 1970, Friese 1972, Mariscal 1972, Uchida et al. 1975), P. douglasi (by Allen 1972, 1975, 1978, Ross 1978, Cutress and Arneson 1987), Radianthus gelam (by Allen 1972, 1978, Friese 1972), Cymbactis actinostoloides (by Moyer and Sawyers 1973), Parasicyonis actinostoloides (by Uchida et al. 1975 as P. actinostoroides, Moyer 1976, Moyer and Bell 1976), P. maxima (by Uchida et al. 1975, Moyer 1976, Moyer and Bell 1976)
Diagnostic field characters Each long (to 100 mm) brown tentacle usually with bulb at or somewhat below end; tip of tentacle red (rarely blue), equator of bulb white. Bulb seems to be related to presence of fish, and can disappear; tentacle lacking a bulb has white ring where equator would form. Tentacles without bulbs are blunt-ended. As a rule, in shallow water (e.g. on tops of reefs) polyps small (oral disc diameter 50 mm), clustered together in crevices or adjacent on coral branches, so that tentacles are confluent, forming extensive field; in deep water (e.g. on reef slopes) polyps solitary, large (to 400 mm diameter), with base anchored in deep hole.
Details Animal commonly attached deeply in crevice or hole so that only emergent tentacles visible. Column without verrucae; usually brown, sometimes reddish or greenish; gradually flared from small pedal disc. Oral disc same brown colour as tentacles. Tentacles can collapse when disturbed, appear gray-green. The most numerous host actinian, widespread geographically and abundant locally.

Ummm u say u bought it as rbta...i think its just a standerd bubble tip. The ones ive seen have purple tips or purple dots i wanna say. Urs may color up a bit but after seeing the pic and white tips it has im gonna say its not a rbta! Rbta are usually all red or pink or at least a lil red on the tentacles. Did u buy it so white?

Ultra hologram color explosion bubble tip... I think this naming of stuff is beyond dumb, and just a way for some people to help make themselves feel good about buying a $150 bubble tip (or vendors trying to sell)....
With that out of the way...
It looks like a partially bleached standard bta. Not a flame or rainbow IMHO.....

Some anemone have a very smooth column or base. Some have rows of verrucae or bumps running up a down the column or base.
Have a look here for some identification aids.
