Help me identify my new 'nem?

Hey guys and gals! I'm still in the early stages of this wonderful new addiction :) Just this week I picked up my first anemone. It was labelled as a "purple foot bubble tip" and did have some bubbling to the tentacles, though not a bunch. Anyhow, it has been proposed on another thread that it could possibly be a condy? I don't know, and I like it either way, especially as my gold bar maroon suddenly discovered it after three days and dove right in (much nicer than the koralia she had been hosting prior :p ).

Anyhow, I thought I would ask for the consensus of the more knowledgeable and experienced group here :) Any thoughts folks?

Here are some photos, just off my phone, to start it off:
(Please forgive my beautiful gha that loves that rock :/ )

So what do you guys think? Any opinions, why you think it's that kind, and any relevant concerns for said anemone above and beyond that of a bta if you think it's something else would e greatly appreciated!
 
you have yourself a lovely bubble tip anemone, entacmaea quadricolor. eventually, with proper care, the tentacles will lengthen and darken to a more rich brown or dark green.

as long as your maroon doesnt beat it up!
 
Thanks!
Haha, yeah, I was a bit concerned with how vigorous she was being when she first discovered it... It had only been in the tank for three days when the clown "found" it. Today (the second day of hosting) the clown seems much more mellowed out. I will keep an eye on it and see if the anemone gets too irritated.

I am very interested to see how the tentacles color up with time :) I have not seen another bta with this purple foot before, which is why I just had to pick it up! It's no true rose bubble, but I think it's quite striking :)
