Is this a BTA?

So I got this new last week at a local coral show. Wondering what it is. Some of the ones the guy had were more orangish/greenish and this one looked close to them. I had in in a QT tank for a few days but since I’ve moved him to the DT he seems much happier. Tentacles waving around and such. Clowns haven’t given him the time of day yet but I’m sure they will eventually... Please help me to ID. WI’ll try to get a better pic later under more blue lights. In this pic the emerald looking for scraps around him and he started retracting a little

From the image it looks like a rose bubble tip anemone to me.

Ok kind of what I thought as well but wanted someone with more knowledge to confirm. Thanks all

So an hour later this is what I found when I came into room with tank

What does this mean when he’s retracted like this just an hour or so after last pic?

Agree, it's a bubble tip. It's normal for them deflate at times.

Ok thanks. He’s back to normal today. Gonna feed him some shrimp shortly

dont feed much. Seems like most people end up in trouble from overfeeding. If you have decent lights they really dont need much food BUT too much food can kill them.

I'm going to say: "it's being normal", trust me when I say that they can be unpredictable at times, and definitely do have a mind of their own!!! One of my BTA does this randomly on occasions and I don't have a scientific explanation on why or know what it means, however, within an hour or so, it is usually back to its normal self - no harm done.
