I am certainly not an expert , but the foot looks like a Condy. The tentacles appear pretty short for a Condy so I am not at all sure. Does it have colored tips? Most Condys do. Sometimes purple or pink.
Regardless of the type it appears badly bleached. It needs more light and/or feeding to survive long term.
Tell us a bit about your setup and perhaps we can help you keep it happy and healthy.

It has the growth pattern common to Sebae anemone's. However, I don't see any dot's on the ends.

The red foot makes it appear to be a Condylactis though.

Regardless of the species, it appears partially bleached and needs to be fed some meaty foods like krill, small shrimp, chopped silversides, etc.

OMG Lynn

Do we have some weird psychic thing going on?

LOL
I guess so since Seabae was the other one I was debating. The top looks like a Seabae and the foot like a Condy.
