Looks more like a rock anemone to me.

Definately not a rock anemone. I have one and it looks nothing close to that.

Hey Scott,

If you can easily see it's mouth (cant tell in the picture) it's most likely a Macrodactyla doreensis, One of the more common anemones being sold as a long tentacle. It might also be a Heteractis crispa, also regularly sold as a long tentacle but they normally have a much more dense tentacle count. Either way, both are pretty cool.

Of course I could be way off on both guesses.....
