Please help to identify an anemone

[adventurer]

Hello everyone

I recently purchased an anemone (in fact it was really cheap so I got it for almost nothing. It's size is about 6-7 cm (2-3 inches) diameter. I know, it does looks similar to Majano anemones, however, Majano's usually are small, aren't they?

In any case, it does looks beatiful, and I am not going to remove it anyway...


Any comments/ideas will be appreciated:

it is not a majano... so your off the hook on that maybe an LTA or even a GBTA...... what color is the foot? where is it in the tank? sandbed or rockwork hard to tell from picture

Thanks for the reply

Foot colour is white, and anemone sits on the rock (in fact, I did not think it would stay there, because there is rather strong current, but it moved only one inch in three days - closer to the rock and "rooted" there. The person I took it from had several of these in aquarium, this was the largest one. He said they do not grow much larger than this in he's aquarium, but rather split in two anemones, when reaching appropriate size.

I forgot to mention one think. The shop I bought this anemone had no sand in the aquarium, just eggcrate with live rock, so all anemones usually positioned themselves on the rocks...Maybe this could be LTA, which don't know what sand is yet

That actually looks like an anemone that came one some LR from Figi, that we have yet to name...hopefully someone will jump in here with a name. The anemone is actually pretty agressive as it eat a unicorn tang twice it size.

Ate a fish twice its size? What would it have to do the be very aggressive? Eat a small child?
