I had a buddy that had to leave town and tore down his tank and I got this Nem from him! He got it a few months ago and was told it was a Maroon! After having it in my tank for about a month now its starting to plump up and get some nice color but every day I'm starting to think its a GBTA! Can anyone confirm my suspicions? I've tried searching around but nothing I've seen really looks like it! All the pics I've seen of GBTA the bulb is more in the middle of the tentacle where mine is at the very tip,and none of the Maroons that I have seen have had their tentacles inflated!

Thanks for the help! I wish you could have seen it when I first got it it was pretty bleached and wouldn't inflate at all for the first week. Ive been feeding it daily alternating between silversides and fresh shrimp!
 
You've done a very nice job with it. In time, they tend to have more elongated tentacles in captivity, so don't be surprised if that happens. It doesn't have anything to do with the health of the anemone.
