Here are the pics I have from the seller. Thoughts? M. Doreensis? H. Aurora? H. Malu? I'm guessing M. Doreensis, but really can't decide... It looks too ornate around the mouth for a LTA, but maybe I just haven't seen one like this before? He says it's currently 6-8 inches, and I know he's been trying to sell it for months, so it's not on it's way out.

Thanks in advance!
 
im willing to bet its a heteractis aurora.

That is what I was going to say before I saw the above post.

H. aurora will very often (almost always) lose the bumps on its tentacles in captivity, leaving only rings where bumps used to be.

H. aurora will also often have a red foot like an LTA, but the verracue are more like H. crispa than M. doorensis.
