looks like a condy to me.

It look likes....
...it's either a florida Condylactus or a Haitian Pink Tip. I'm leaning to the condy because HPTs usually have a darker red foot (but not always) and the picture may not acurately show it's color. It's def not a pacific LT anemone. I'd go back to the store and demand a refund for the difference.
Hope this helps...

You may want to ...
You may want to rethink an anemone at all if your tank is that small. Under the best conditions, most anemonies will get big. (I once got a carpet anemone out of Indonesia that stretched out and filled up a 20 long tank. It weighed 5 lbs with no water!) You may want to switch to Atlantic Rock anemonies or Curlyque anemonies as they don't get real big or have long tenticles. They can, however, kill fish.
If this is a HPT, I've had numerous fish use them as a host. Maroon clowns and Domino Damsels routinely use them as they resemble Ritteri and bubble anemonies.
As for the price, a Condy is a relatively inexpensive anemone compared to a Pacific LT anemone. The store should be refunding you the difference in the 2 prices because you deffinitely did not get what you paid for. It's only right. That's just my opinion

My domino damsel which I thought was hosting it was killed by it.

It happens
I guess your anemone just got hungrier one day
I once saw a Blue Hippo tang inside a HPT. He was rubbing against the tenticles and acting just like a clownfish would have. The wholesaler kept this "pair" for a week before selling the two so the anemone wasn't trying to eat the tang. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd call it a fish story
Domino damsels in the wild routinely use anemonies as hosts. Yours just chose the wrong host I guess.

Need more info
Unfortunately, common names can be misleading. I know of a rose anemone that is a cold water anemone and grows quite large. You could just be looking at a small one of those which could lead to a problem down the line. You'd need to give me the latin name so I can better advise.
Sorry

It might have been...
I've seen clownfish killed by anemonies so it can happen. Usually it happens when the wrong fish goes into the wrong anemone.

Entacmaea quadricolor

I know this one
You see what I mean about common names. We call this a bubble anemone. You probably just saw a pink colored one so the store or wholesaler called it a rose anemone.
Here's the deal, Bubbles grow to almost 12" in diameter. If you don't want an anemone that big, this is not a good choice. (They do make great host anemonies tho)

BTAs are simple to cut and after a week of healing, you can sell one of them off to your LFS for $ or credit.
