I got this BTA about 2 months ago from someone semi-locally, and I think it's a sherman. It's the prettiest BTA I think I've seen in person. The video doesn't do it justice, I don't have much luck getting good color under blueish light with my phone. It's a deep reddish/rust color and the oral disc and the base of the tentacles are almost black, a dark charcoal. I moved all my purple base BTAs to a different tank, because I didn't want to take a chance on allelopathy, if that is a thing between BTAs. The female maroon is about 3.5" for reference. I've been feeding this anemone pretty much every day with small amounts of shrimp, krill, mysis, clam, mussel, etc. and in ~two months it's more than doubled in size. It was worth spending two hours on the freeway, an hour each way, to get it.
