One more observation just now.... it was really hard to take a picture so here is a crude drawing of the mouth area, its a bit crude hahaha. I noticed what seemed like two lightning bolt patterns coming from the mouth.

Why is it so hard to ID anemones....

For what its worth I boughtthis Nem from a LFS that my buddy recently told me is not as honest and is all about pushing product out. So I bought it with high hopes that they did in fact sell me a Mag...

That positively ID it as a BTA. All BTA have at least one of these line while Mag does not. The picture of the mouth earlier was not really clear but does not show this. If this is what it has on the oral plate, and the tentacles with small tips at the end, there is not question, IMO, that it is a BTA.
Here is an example. Not my picture. Somebody here on R2R
