Lightbulb Anemone ID please - What am I?.....

This just came in to a LFS yesterday with their Indo shipment. It's stunning and was begging for me to take it. Aside from the obvious - being irresponsible and purchasing it without knowing what it exactly I was purchasing....."What is it?" There were 2 ocellaris in the aquarium with it. According to the LFS; the clowns didn't take to it. This however; may be an issue of time and familiarity. I'm uncertain.

I can't classify the anemone as: Ritteri, Sebae, Condy, nor Long Tentacle. It seems closer to a large Caribbean "Orange Ball Corallimorph" - Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum; but it's not. Enclosed are pics of the top along with a side profile of the column/foot.

The LFS asked their supplier for "weird, different, and funky" and this is what they got.

Any ideas or comments? Thanks in advance.
