Bought this green anemone when it was little as a bta, since it had little puffy tentacles, but as it’s gotten bigger it started sitting relatively flat on the rock, like a carpet or magnifica nem. It then found a hole in one of my rocks, stretched out like a bta, but hasn’t shown any bubble tip displays in the last 6 months I’d say. It’s stickier like a magnifica, and has thin tentacles like one (even when flow changes), but stretches like a bta, and looked like one when it was little. What do you think it might be? (Also stays out at night when my forest fire BTA’s sleep)

Don’t know too much about anemones that aren’t BTAs, but almost looks like a green hairy mushroom! Following along

Oh okay, had a look. That’s interesting, but I don’t think so. It does look very similar though, I see where you’re coming from

Are you able to post a picture of the foot/stem? Do you have any other photos of it? I want to say it could be a magnifica anemone

Sorry, the foot really ticks into the rock, but it’s elongated from the head, it’s just hard to get a photo of the stretch between them

It looks like a BTA. If you can get a picture of the column, or at least part of the column. Clear picture of the mouth, it may help in definitively ID this anemone. All pictures should be under white light rather than blue light, and need to be in focus and clear with details.
