I don't have a pic to post yet, but wondering how good you guys are..
There's a carpet anemone at the LFS that's has about 4-5" diameter disk a relatively large foot at least 2.5" diameter, its color is bleached a bit (looks a pale yellow - they do not have good lighting at the LFS), but it's mouth is tightly closed, and he moves around and appears healthy (other than the color and very retracted tentacles. Many look fairly transparent). The underside is a tan/skin color with small reddish/magenta spots/dashes on the underside of the disk and all the way down the column/foot. Live aquaria lists Stichodactyla haddoni as having no under-spots. It also lists Stichodactyla gigantean as having spots underneath that stop at the column. This one has spots that go all the way down the column. Any thoughts? I'll try to post a pic tonight.
