Which anemone is this? It has shorter tentacles like Haddoni. However it also has the spots like a Gig. The anemone was filmed in Fiji.

Yah -- mertensii. The verrucae are typically more reddish pink, but are sometimes orange as seen in to photo/video. You can see how the dots get longer in some places -- looking more like lines -- a clear indicator of mertensii.

Good to know the distinction between the two. Thanks.
