Please, Identify My Nem

[lacybiker2000]

Hi, I am a member of the DFWMAS and posted this on there, noone could help me identify my Nem, at least not so far. I've got a small nem (2-3") that is pink/beige, light and dark of these same shades throughout. On the outside of the tenticle base (not the foot) are white dots in a regular pattern. The tips of the tenticles are white/baby pink. When it rolls into itself or shrinks the tenticles they are absolutely a vivid purple, the color of coraline algae. But when extended they are the rosy beige. It is not a BTA. The LFS could not remember what he had sold me and I was so happy at the time to get this pretty creature that I forgot to ask. So I bring my delimma to the wise, educated ones on here...

I've uploaded a few pics of it in my gallery as the gif file type would not load into this message.

In all the pics of Nems, I had not seen any that looked like mine. Cool, thank you very much, are clowns known to host in them? In my 29 gal I intend to have a couple of clowns, preferably maroon.

Below is a good picture from your gallery for ID purposes:

Looks like M. doreensis to me, commonly used names LTA, Long Tentacle Anemone, Corkscrew Anemone. Most of the common clowns will eventually call them home.

In my humble opinion, let it settle in a few weeks, grow a bit, and darken up prior to introducing clowns to the mix.
