Please ID this Anemone...

I had a 3" maroon hosting it but she got too aggressive tossing nearby corals across the tank so I had to get rid of her for two smaller 1" false percs. Will the false percs eventually host it?

R-Bubble-Tip-Anemone? Whats the "R" mean?

Large-Tentical-Anemone?

R= rose or red Entacmaea quadricolor (Bubble tip anemone)

it's not a LTA (long tentacle anemone)

E. quadricolor, BTA. Most would call it a Rose BTA.

Its up to the clowns to choose a home, but I have yet to have a clown not eventually accept a BTA. Be patient.

Maroons naturally host BTAs. Percs and false percs don't. A guy on here has percs and a very nice RBTA, but they host in his monti caps! Very strange. Of course, given time, they may decide to move in.

My false percs hanging out in a recently split RBTA clone. The smaller one is an ORA and has been in the tank for less than a week.

Weird thing, one of the false percs I bought at the lfs was doing the same in a fake monti cap they had in the tank.
