H. Magnifica can have any color foot, including blue, purple, red, pink, orange, white, or even tan, but the anemones shown are BTA. Heteractis Magnifica has many more tentacles, and the tentacles come to a blunt end instead of tapering off. These BTA look healthy enough, but would possibly appreciate brighter lighting, based on the way they are sitting high on the rock and stretching upwards.
BTA can have purple, pink, red, or tan base colors as well. However this picture also shows that these anemones do not have verrucae on the upper column, which is another thing used to identify Heteractis anemones.
