Anemone ID

[4FordFamily]

Bought from local Reefer -- doesn't look like my RBTA or BTA which is where my expertise ends. I can identify a sunburst or similar.

It's greenish with bright orange tips. It's pretty sizable even after a split. This is 1/3 size because I just bought it.

This is white most of the blues and violets turned off on my A1 Prime HD

Thoughts?

Edit: added foot pictures to first post per request

H. crispa???? That's my guess.

Mouth and Underside pics @4FordFamily?

Shape of tips of tents would tell me not H Mag and a recent split would also tell me not an h Mag, if somebody owns one that has split I've not seen the personal testimonial.

Everything SO FAR looks consistent with a BTA, just of a very different Zoo color then I am used to seeing them, I've not seen the orange tips myself either.

Not ready to rule out LTA or H Crispa just yet, but a self split would almost always be a BTA of some morph.

What's that blue in the back? It looks cool.

Anyway, I second Amoo. While I can't rule out LTA, the fact that it is taking foot in the rockwork leans it away.

Could it be an oddly colored condylactis

 

[Dizzirn]

Possibly a sebae??

I cannot get underside photos as it's in a Rubbermaid bin until my move next weekend. It looks like a BTA foot to me but I'm not even a little proficient here.

I shoved it where you see at the moment.

Maybe a photo once settled would be more helpful?

Thanks everyone!

Oh this makes things easy if it's in a rubbermade bin FFF. Just pick the rock up out of the bin, snap a picture of the top side outside of the bin, then hang it upside down and grab a pic of the underside of the disc. Then just put the rock back in and it will wonder why the tide rushed in and out so quickly but shouldn't bother it much.

I thought he was attached to the wall but he was barely hanging.

How are these?

Tentacles looking BTA when I grabbed it!

The smooth column would really lean me harder towards BTA, assuming it doesn't change color or start to get rough on the bottom of the oral disc, I'm at like 85% with this being a BTA.

Ok cool, thanks.

So is this an uncommon variety/appearance for a BTA then?

I think it's pretty neat, it looks color under the proper lighting in person!

 

[Amoo]

basically if it has spots on the bottom side of the oral disc it would ID it as a LTA (M Doreensis), which is where I was thinking it might be, but if it stays smooth all the way up it's BTA.

Sigh, sorry @4FordFamily something about this ID is not sitting right with me.

When you get a chance, does the bottom of the pedal look like this?

if not it looks like it could be one of these:

It looks more like the second one, I didn't see any spots at the top, but until it's in my tank I can't be sure. But based on description and appearance it sounds like the bottom BTA. I'm about 90% sure no spots.

Thanks for your help!!
