Yes he seems to be more red, purple, and green with white lines around his mouth.At first glance it doesn’t look like a bta, but it could be a bta that isn’t ‘bubbling’. The coloration does suggest bta.
I don’t think it’s a lta (macrodactyla doreensis) either as the foot doesn’t have the prominent verracue and typical orange/red color.
The tentacles actually look like a condy to me, but the foot doesn’t look like I’d expect for that either and it would be a very unusual coloration. If it is red and green it is most likely a rainbow bta.
Can you get pics under white lights that show the oral disc including the mouth, close-up of the tentacles showing any patterns if present, the underside of the oral disc to check for verracue and the foot?
A bta should have white striations (lines) around the mouth and no visible verracue (spots under the oral disc). It also usually has tentacles that bubble or appear more bulbous on the ends (hence the name), but sometimes they don’t ‘bubble’. An lta will have very obvious and evenly spaced/organized verracue and the foot is usually orange/red. A condylactis usually has an orange/red foot and there is a pattern on the tentacles if you look closely.
He’s eating and spreading out just fine, and also seems very happy.You bought an anemone you couldn’t identify? That’s not a recipe for success, my friend.
