I don't think it's a carpet or a sebae. It looks like a speciese of bubble tip to me. About half way down this page on the right is a pretty close match.

In that first picture that mertensi does look like it has the larger bubbles, but if you click the link for them, none of the other pics look like that. I think that might just be a macro shot making the tenticles look bigger.

That is a real nice anemone whatever it is. Did you get it local?
