anemone id please

[graveyardworm]

This guy was sold as a rock/flower anemone. In the LFS tank its foot was buried near the glass, and was attached to the glass and some substrate. Tha candy stripes and purple septa led me to believe that possibly it was mislabeled, but now that I have it at home I'm not so sure.

Looks kind of like a rock flower.

Actually it looks more like a Macrodactyla doreensis. But the color of the foot is throwing me off.


Anyone?

yeah, macrodactyla dooreensis should have a red base. This is a tough one

I was thinking M. Doreensis as well at the store. I havent seen many rock flower anemones so I have nothing to compare it to. Tentacles are mostly absent from the oral disk ( not nearly as many as my M. Doreensis has). Also I've never known M. Doreensis to have a sticky foot, but at the store and even in the bag the foot was stuck.

they are pretty washed out in the bottom, but there is the slightest tint of red to them.
