is this a ritteri or bta?

[pipebash]

I bought this as a ritteri but the more i look at it the more i think its a bta especially since it went to the the bottom of the tank in a low flow area and the tips seem somewhat inflated at times. i bought it on saturday and its still going through its acclimation process. it has a purple base and light green tentacles. sorry about the pictures theyre the best my camera and i do. if you guys can tell by the pics that would be sweet, thanks.

In addition to joe1584's advice.
When using photobucket you need to click "post reply" not quick reply. Paste the IMG code (coppied from under photo in your album in reply.

Don't need a pic of the collumn on this anemone. It's a BTA / E. quadracolor

 

[pipebash]

damn thats what i was afraid of. oh well at least i finally learned how to post pics. thanks for the help and patience so what are distinguishing characteristics of a ritteri then? i thought the purple base was a give away.

 

[elegance coral]

The base of BTA's are found in several different colors. Ritteri/magnifica don't have the white lines that extend outward from the mouth like BTA's do. Like the ones your anemone has.

That is what some people call a tricolor BTA. Nice anemone regardless. It will look different once it settles in and starts thriving.

ok cool thanks for the info and ya i agree it still is nice, i like it. so what does the mouth look like on a ritteri? same just no white lines? i tried to find pics online but could only find sideshots
