What you have is a M. doreensis (long tentacle anemone, LTA, or corkscrew tentacle sea anemone). This ID is 100% positive due to the orange foot and the white verrucae near the top of the column It is a sand bed anemone. It need bright light and clean water in a stable mature tank. It is somewhat bleached. When healthy, it will be brown with slight blue tinted. I need a sand bed about 3+ inches in height and do not need lots of flow. It is a natural host of A. chrysogaster, A. clarkii, A. perideraion, and it can eat fish although not as dangerous to fish as the carpet anemone.
Hopefully with a positive ID you can read more about it's requirement
