Anemone Identification help

I'm confused whether this is a Gig or a Mag
Currently undergoing cipro in a tank since seemed like it wasn't doing well in the dt

Looks like a mag based on the shape of the tentacles. Do you have a have any other pics?

The only reason I think it wouldn't be a mag is coz of tentacles length they are very short compared to the Mag I have

It is a Magnifica. Africa Magnifica anemones often have shorter and blunted tentacles in comparison to Magnifica from another region IME. Also, sick Magnifica often do not have long tentacles.

Oooo was secretly hoping it was a Gig is anything else different abt them like their size compared to normal mags?

You can easily tell if an anemone is a S. gigantea or not by looking at the column. Giganea has pastel color foot and bright verrucae. Your anemone, been a Magnifica, should have uniform color column with no visible verrucae. Some Magnifica has verrucae the same color as the column but darker. This is similar to an E. quadricolor.
