Hitchhiker anemone ID, please

[jayelblock]

No, it's not an aiptasia, nor a mojano. This came in as a hitchhiker to my LFS, and I liked the look of it, so I rolled the dice. It's about 2.5" across, and the color is accurate--purple-brown tentacles with green tips, white mouth and a translucent white column. I find it interesting that it has so few tentacles. The sexy shrimp took right to it.

Thanks in advance for the ID.

lta?

 

[jayelblock]

Most likely you are correct, but I thought they had orange columns...

the first photo is a lta for sure, the 2nd photo is from what i was sold from divers den as a lta (although you cannot see it, the base is brown) from my understanding as well they usually do have orange bases but depending on collection point may have different.



tho i may totally wrong with that information :sad2:
