Fell for a new anemone

the stripes of bare then tentacles is typical of S. tapetum. Your picture is not detail enough for me to see but S. tapetum have longer tentacles at the edge one or two rolls then the tentacles are uniformly short. 4-6 inches is c/w S. tapetum the Maxi variety. If you can get a clear picture of the edge of the oral plate, I can give my opinion if this is a Haddoni or Tapetum
 
Here is a top down shot if it helps for the ID I can't get a clear picture of the mouth because how how it's positioned.

Looks like a haddoni to me too, especially in that last pic. Very nice color.


Thank you!!

I keep trying to get you guys a better picture but it's in a really awkward position. I'm tempted to move the rock it's on but I'm afraid that it will move after so long of it staying in place
 
Quick update:
The nem was looking good in the QT so I put it in my DT on Saturday. I turned the pumps off for about 15min and it was able to attach it's foot. It's settled in between the rock and the sand bed. I'm thinking of giving it a tiny piece of salmon tomorrow that I have frozen. Hopefully it eats! Mouth is still tight and tentacles still pretty sticky. Everything still seems to look good, I can't wait to see what color it ends up being.

My Bubbletip Anemone enjoys sitting on the sand bed next to my rocks. I think it's lazy because he moved down from the rocks and uses them to prop him up. I swear anemones will try to get out of the simplest chores in life.
