Anenome ID please?

[Banff]

The tank in my doc's office had this new nem in it. The clown started hosting in it pretty quickly. I asked him what kind he was told it was and he sad "a white bubble-tip".

So yeah, anyway, opinions? Couldn't get a shot of its mouth.

Looks like a bleached carpet anenome

I don't think it's any sort of carpet. My first guess would be bleached BTA, but it could also be a H. magnifica. In the top left corner, the tentacles appear to be bulbous, indicative of a BTA.

I'm also thinking Mag and not BTA. Really need to see a picture of the mouth for positive ID.

No such thing as a white bta, only bleached. If he feeds it mysis once or twice a week it should start to color up.

Bubble tip

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Bubble tips have pointed tips when they're not bubbled up. This one has even blunt tips, so I'm pretty sure it's not a BTA.

IMO, the bubbled tent in the middle of this pic points to a BTA.

 

[Dkuhlmann]

The only sure way to tell is to see the mouth. If it's got the white lines then it's a BTA.

Looks like a bleached sebae anemone.

Like D-Nak, I think he is most likely a E. quadricolor but H. magnifica also is a possibility. A clear picture of the mouth would settle the ID
