I think it's a malu nem. Only saying this because a bought one today. From what I have read they prefer to be on the sand.

The Malu Sebae Anemone is a less common form of the Sebae Anemones with its longer tentacles, and colored tips

Malu Sebae Anemone is a delicate anemone, and easily damaged. It can also be difficult to acclimate, so its care should only be attempted by the experienced aquarists. It prefers to have a sandy substrate allowing its base to be hidden from sight. It should not be placed on a rock. It requires strong lighting, moderate water flow, porous live rock, and a variety of sandy and rocky locations from which it can choose to live. It is a moderately difficult anemone to care for, but once acclimated, it can be very hardy.

Most def not a bubble tip. Both the sebae and malu are difficult anemone to keep, like stated above. Once acclimated, they can be just as hardy as other anemone, but just like all anemone if they don't have stable, pristine water conditions and proper lighting to provide them the energy to live they will fade away and die.
