need a nem ID

[SexyRob]

looking to pick this up from a guy on craigslist, he was sold this as a green carpet anemone. looking for exact ID..

this doesn't look like haddoni to me, more like gigantea, but maybe ritteri?

couldn't get anything better than these cellphone pics.

thanks for the help.

Looks like a haddoni to me

 

[SexyRob]

really?? I have a haddoni and it doesn't look anything like this...

I don't think that is a haddoni, if I remember correctly they do not have spots on the verracue. As far as ID'ing I couldn't help you with that, well have to wait for someone else to chime in. If I had to guess id say it's a gig how it's perched up high.

Not a haddon and not a ritteri,

The spots look orangish/brown which would indicate atlantic carpet anemone.

S. Helianthus aka Atlantic carpet.

Fish eater helianthus.

ahh yeah.. good call.

going to let this one go for sure.

For me, when looking at the top of the nem, if the tentacles are evenly spaced on the oral disc, it's most likely a helianthus. The orange brown verrucue usually confirms it.
