it appears to be a genral Pink Tip Anemone

"The Haitian Pink Tip Anemone is an easy to care for. They require moderate lighting and moderate flow. They do like to move around the aquarium and will go where they want to go, which may not be where you want them to go. They do not usually host any Clownfish and it is rare for any Clownfish to swim into them."
 
thankss, someone on reefcentral said it might be a bubble tip, but idk

Looks like a retracted bubble tip or a sebae? Not really sure but i think you can rule out condy and LTA.
 
Im going to say BTA a as well. I dont know that I have ever seen a sebae with pink tips.

If it is a BTA, you can feed it size apropriate portions of meaty items like shrimp, krill, silversides, etc...

It would obviously need to be target fed, and be gentle, let it take the food on its own (no force feeding)
 
There is no way in hell it is a hatian.

Bta is the best bet...but it has a very unusual look to it. Deformed almost. :D
