anemone id please

[Captainfester]

can i get an ID on these nems? told it is a white tip BTA.


obviously know the far right is gbta

sorry for crappy iphone pic. just fastest way to get posted

My best guess is unhealthy H. Crispa, but there's no detail of the mouth or base, so it could maybe also be H. Magnifica or an actual BTA from what can be seen here. The tentacles are wrong for BTA, but possible. My suggestions are given in order of likelyhood FWIW.

they are 100% healthy. ill try and get picks of base and mouth tonight

 

[bradleym]

Why do you say they are 100% healthy? Have you had them for a long time and seen them grow or split or something?

Can't get a positive id by these photos but my first guess would be Entacmea quadricolor.

My first initial thought when I saw the pictures was that they look identical to the H. Magnifica that have been on DD lately. However looks can be deceiving and better pictures will help to positively ID.

I will post some more picks. Yes these are very old nems from my buddies tank. Have split at least 8 times.

 

[kduen]

Do they get extremely large in his tank before they split or stay on the smaller side?

A good look at the mouth will differentiate a BTA from Magnifica. These are the only tow that will split in aquarium. Most likely these are BTA

Especially as often as they have split.

They look like BTAs to me, the white tips aren't that uncommon from what I've seen.
