Anyone have an idea of what it is? I don't think it's a BTA....

Honestly, lfs personnel sometimes don't know a whole lot about anemones. I suppose it could be a BTA. However, the shape of the tentacles and the column color (though BTA's can be this color) would suggests ritteri. Is the anemone on top of a rock or does it have its foot in a cave or crevice in the rock? Ritteries like to be on top (see the pics of mine).
 
This is the second time you have posted the same question. You have had it for a while now. How about providing a different picture.

How is the foot attached in your tank? Is it perched on a rock or is the foot buried in a crevice?
 
I looked at the link and am pretty sure that's H. magnifica. More pics would help us identify it. I recall you said you bought it and have it with two BTA's. So can't you post a pic?

Uhh...what? I only posted this question on this nem ONCE. It's on the Atlantis Aquarium web site and I don't think they will send more pictures. It was a simple question. The other nem I asked about was from Liveaquaria and it was a LTA, and I was asking if it looked bleached. I know I didnt go into specifics that it was on a LFS website, but I was just asking a simple question to look at the picture and give an opinion.

You know, this is a GREAT avenue of knowledge, but it sure sucks having to put up with all the know-it-alls and sarcasm.......

To those who gave an answer....thank you.
 
Villious, someone posted that same pic a while back and asked what kind of anemone it is. Whoever it was, I posted that it looks like H. magnifica to me. They posted back that it is supposed to be a BTA and that they hope it's a BTA because it is in their tank between two BTA's. So, I understand why Phil assumed you were posting again. I thought the same thing. Somewhere in old postings in this forum, I assume the other thread is still there.
 
Thank you for clearing that up Gary :) It's hard not to over-react sometimes to replies on here.

Phil....sorry bud.....my mistake.

Sorry about that. The other person who posted that exact picture said that he bought it and had it in his tank. I just assumed that he didn't like the first set of answers that he had received, and was asking again. I knew the avatar was different, but people change their avatars all the time. My mistake.

FWIW: from that picture, I can't even make a guess that I would feel good about.
