Anemone identification?

[esva]

I have this anemone in my tank and it started out the size of a quarter. It is now about 4 inches across. It has purple tips but the length of the tentacles are no longer than 1" so I do not believe it is a condy. Any ideas?

Heteractis Crispa.

 

[esva]

I am hoping that is what it is but because it grew from a baby I wasn't certain. The bigger it grows the more the tentacles start to fill in.

Yeah, looks like crispa to me too. They get large with regular feeding.

Here is a picture of a crispa and then the picture of my anemone.

Here is a view of the collar which has spots.

it´s not a crispa ist a Macrodactyla doreensis.

Had the same one for a wile but sold it again

 

[garygb]

Yeah, the verracue are the bumps and what you would expect with crispa. LTAs have large, white, smooth verracue.

What I want to know is, how did you get ahold of a tiny crispa? Talk about luck! :envious:

 

[esva]

Yeah it was an oddball anemone shipped with a bunch of BTAs at the LFS. So I said I would take it because it was tiny and he really didn't know what it was when it was that small. I mean it only had like 6 tentacles and it was clear with the pink tips. It has been steadily growing so it seems happy.

Sebae or Green Bubble Tip Anemone?

Sebae or Green Bubble Tip Anemone?

Bought this today at LFS and was told it was a sebae anemone. It didn't look like this in the store. Looks more like green bubble tip anemone to me, but I've never had an anemone before. Can anyone ID for me, please? I put it on sand because I thought it was a sebae, but if it's a green BTA, I should put it on rock, right?
