Anemone ID question... mislabelled ritteri?

Hi all,
I know, I know, this would be a lot easier if I had a pic, but I have a question on anemone species ID. My LFS got in some new anemones this week and claims they are all ritteri anemones. However, they have one that "just doesn't look like a Ritteri" to me anyway. It has greenish tentacles of uniform color, reddish-brown column, and bright white very obvious verrucae on the upper part of the column and under the oral disk. Suspecting it is H. crispa... any thoughts?

does the base look like this, especially the white verrucae?

That picture is of a long tentacle. M. dorenssis. I dont have a cripsa underside picture atm, working on it. But this is a picture of the rest of the base of that anemone.

well I think you nailed it, it looks a lot like the pic of M. doreensis that you posted, and the color is very similar.
