I’m hoping someone can help ID a few anemones that recently popped up in my tank.

My system is full of RBTAs — several Joker Nexus, along with a handful of rock flower anemones. I haven’t intentionally added any other types.

Recently, though, I’ve noticed a few new anemones that look different from my usual RBTAs. They have a bubble-tip appearance, but the tentacles are shorter and the overall coloration is lighter than my standard RBTAs.

Can anyone help identify the anemones I’ve circled in the photos?
Any insight would be appreciated!

Those are BTA. It looks like these anemones are stressed or shaded anemones. Could be product of a few splits.

I agree. They should look like the others once they've colored up. I suspect they were hidden under the others and once they get more light, they'll look a lot better.
