Amazing anemone (video)

[Banff]

So Reef Builders went and visited a reef tank in Taiwan and there is an amazing anemone in it. It is identified as a "œTaiwanese Long Tentacle" anemone. It is firmly mounted between rocks and is hosting a couple of clowns. About 4:15 in this video:

Anyone know anything about these? Doesn't look like any LTA I've ever seen.

Wish it showed the foot and base, tentacles are not best for positive ID, but just looking at those it looks very much like a magnifica more than an LTA/M.doreensis, though I have to say certainly not a color of either that I have ever seen, very nice!

I just thought it was a red BTA when I first saw it, but the narrator says not. So I have no idea what species it is.

It is a BTA. Definitely not a Magnifica. It cannot be any other host anemone.

 

[Banff]

Thanks for the input. Gorgeous, whatever species it is.

It looks a lot like a BTA to me too. I've heard that color morph called a tequila sunrise BTA before, and it could possibly be a flametip or inferno morph as well.

I don't have 100% confidence in Jake's ability to ID anemones, and I think he's just going off of what the owner told him.

Agreed; it is a bta

Yup. BTA without a doubt.

I've seen other tanks with more SPS, etc., but the diversity and quality of the inverts here are unparalleled, and sets this tank apart. I'd kill for that red anemone. It may be a species (or morph) we know nothing about in the U.S. - new species are discovered all the time. I'm so damn jealous!

I've seen a few BTA with that color variation locally. They are very nice looking.
