Got these guys the other day,love the color but not sure if it is a bta or lta?http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/69039anemone.jpg

No one will be able to be sure from that picture. Try to get a picture of the base of the anemone for us. and possibly a closeup of the mouth.

On first glance, my guess, keyword guess, is H. magnifica, one of the most extremely hard to keep host anemones, Needing very good water conditions, high light, and high indirect random flow.

My first guess would also be magnifica (also called a ritteri) but without a clear shot of the underside and some charactoristic behaviour it is very hard to tell apart from a BTA.

I'm by no means an expert but I personally have never seen or heard of a BTA that color. If it were a purple BTA you'd have several thousand people waiting in line for clones, including me

I would have to say its a Ritteri as well. What price did you get it for?

 

[Dustin Hale]

80.00 for it and the two clowns

 

[55semireef]

Thats a pretty good deal if you ask me. Is that place notorious for being cheap? That price sounds right for a Ritteri.
