I just purchased a anemone which was sold as a BTA. A few people said it didn't really look like a BTA. Anyways what are your guys thoughts?


The tips are all green although you cannot really tell from the picture.

Here is a picture of when I first placed it in the tank. You can see its foot pretty well in that picture.

I was under the impression that LTAs usually have very long tentacles. The tentacles on this guy are pretty short maybe 1/4th an inch at most. When it stretches out his base is about 4 or 6 inches across.
 
Bubble tips can have a bright pink to green foot.Iv seen some that have a purple foot.My old one had a pink foot not very bright but still pink.

Is the underside of the oral disc smooth? If it is, then it is for sure NOT an LTA (( which I don't think it is anyways ))
 
When I got home today it was looking ALOT better. You could not see its mouth at all. I fed it some mysis and the mouth opened and ate them right away!

Here are a few more pictures

I could tell it was a Entacmaea Quadricolor a.k.a bubble tip anemone since the beggining.I would also have to say I concur.
 
+1 Entacmaea Quadricolor. Thoe the foot and bi color tips may point other! Plz keep us updated with pics!!!
