What type of Anemone is this

[my_money_pit]

I went to me LFS on Saturday to purchase a maroon clown and a buble tip anemone. This is my first anemone so I am not too familiar with them but several other guys had suggested the bubble tip as a good first one. I don't think I ended up with a bubble tip. I am not sure what it is. The LFS was running low on everything by the time I had made it there Sat. so I ended up with a small percula clown, and a ?????? anemone. It was their last one, and it had broke loose from a small display tank after something else was taken out, so I went ahead and took it. (in hope of hosting the clown fish) The anemone is approximately 2 inches accross and is perfectly white, with an almost pink base. Since putting it in the tank it moved underneath an overhanging rock and began to puff up, at one point it was probably 2 inches tall. On top, there is a single opening in the center. I have attached a rather poor photo of the anemone. Hopefully someone out there can help me with this. If not I guess I will call the LFS and see what they say.
BTW both the clown fish and the anemone seemed to be doing great, but I would still like to know what I have.
Thanks

sounds like an LTA to me. Hole in the center is its mouth. I would have waited and got what I wanted but I can understand the enthusiasm of a new purchase. I would also recommend ALOT of reading on anenome's because they can be difficult to keep and if they die and are not removed quickly they can kill everything in your tank.

If it is a LTA will it ever spread out and open up? Does it stay completely closed because of the move? Right now it looks like a huge marshmallow. This morning I noticed it moved to a vertical edge of one of my rocks and is standing out horizontally about 2 1/2 inches or so.
Thanks for the help

Sounds like he is looking for a home to settle into. Anenomes will move around until they find the conditions they like. Sometimes they never do.
He should open up once he gets acclimated, post a pick then for positive ID. Sound like a LTA or a condi to me.
Be prepared that anenomes are hard to keep alive. Read up on them.
