Well the reason that I specifically bought it, under the impression it was H. magnifica was for my Ocellaris clowns to host in it. The guy in the shop even asked what type of clowns I had to make sure that this was the right anem for my situation.
It was. I bought it. Now I find out it's not the right one.
I'm aware of "Buyer beware" but what about "Seller should know the difference between a BTA and a Ritteri"????

Hey Illcssd,
I noticed you have a Ritteri and Perc tank. Is it the same as your avatar??
Any more pics for comparison?

definitely either a BTA or a Magnifica (ritteri) . Keep your fingers crossed that it is a BTA. Magnificas are very challenging, get huge and really need a planned setup for them.

A magnifica, particularly color like that can frequently not show the verrucae and if it does they can just be variations in color rather than bumps. The way the foot is right now is more magnificaish, but new BTAs often do that too.

I can't really say what makes me solidly in the "its a BTA" camp, but after looking at many of both that is my opinion. If the foot goes into a rock crevice and the anemone stretches out more trumpet shape as it settles in, then it is %100 BTA (also called E. quadricolor)

I have some pics in my gallery for comparison.

Good luck with it.

I also believe it to be a BTA.

I love those beautiful BTA's

If you got a condy(I don't think it is, but...) out there in AU, it may not be getting the shaft at all...I bet they're pretty rare out in AU.

That is a BTA, healthy, and amazing color at that. Not bleached, but not a GBTA either...never seen that morph.
