:I am pretty sure it is a Macrodactyla doreensis, Long-tentacled anemone. and the clown is a Premnas biaculeatus and seems scared of the anemone for some reason. sorry about spelling

Well perhaps you would like to try an Amphiprion clarkii, and get the one thats body color almost matches the anemones, for you see this anemone you have they come in any number of colors and the clarkii also are available most colors, and if you every see many photos you would notice most that both anemones and clowns are near the same color.
Here is alittle info on this anemone: (Long Tentacle Anemone - Macrodactyla doreensis) Also known as: Corkscrew Anemone, Long Tentacle Red Base Anemone, Red Base Anemone, Sand Anemone..
