    I was hoping someone could help me identify this anemone. It is about 1 inch in diameter, light pink in the middle with white bulbs on the end. A friend donated it for my tank but I cant seem to figure it out. *see attached pictures. Thanks!

    Appears to be a Flower anemone. Looks like it's bleached, though. You might want to give it supplemental feedings twice a week and watch it's size. If it starts to look smaller, give it a little more food. It should start to get some color back in a couple weeks.
