I've done research on your anemone and can describe it in 3 letters, B. T. A.
First, I'll answer your questions:
1. if bta are purple
YES. They're common.
2. if they stick to rock with its disk
Typically NO. My understanding is that they don't have verrucae.
3. if they can stretch there foot 6 inches
YES. I've seen some stretch longer than that. They look silly, but it happens.
Second, we've gone over this already...

Furthermore, generally speaking, BTA like to hide their foot. Magnifica do not. They spread their foot out like a fried egg on top of a flat rock.
To be completely honest with you... it does look like you have two different anemones. One is a BTA and the other is a magnifica. I don't think your nem hid and split. I think you may have purchased what you thought were BTAs on separately occasions where one was really a BTA and the other was actually a magnifica. I say this because their postures and appearance are completely different. The one in the rocks is 100% BTA. The one on the back wall is the suspect anemone that could be a magnifica. It looks a lot like the one that I used to have (photo in the thread I linked).
However, if you watched it split and you know that you only bought one nem , then by deduction they are both BTAs simply because one of them is CLEARLY, 100% without a doubt, a BTA (that's doing a good job pretending that it's a magnifica).
Still a BTA
It's definitely a BTA.
Mine has half the size teniciles. Can someone show me the underside of a ritteri
