finally, S. mertensii

[sedgro]

I admit that I am an anemone junkie. Finally found this large gem (S. mertensii) after a couple of years of looking (its not the one that was recently on here from the LFS on the east coast). I know it is nothing dramatic to look at, but I am hoping it will grow huge enough to occupy a side of my 280g. No clowns yet.

I have seen a mertens with that striping pattern before. The one I saw was gray w/white stripes. Nice find. Thanks for including the orange verrucae so we don't have to argue about whether or not it is a mertens.

FWIW: I have also seen a couple S. gigantea with similar white stripes. Most books consider the stripes unique to S. haddoni.
