What kind of Nem is this?

[brannock_16]

I got this Nem for $20 and a little trade from a local reefer here in Boise. He was told from the person that he got his clone from that it was a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone, but I have my doubts.

I am trying to get my misbar oscellaris clowns to host in it, but no luck yet. They appear interested, but have yet to take the plunge.

If anyone could help me by letting me know what kind it is that would be great.

A little info on the nem, I received the nem from a fellow reefer, it is a clone from the reefers tank. Since I have had it (about 2 months), it has gone from about tennis ball size to now the size of a melon! I feed it small pieces of krill and shrimp every other day, and only what it can readily eat, I know not to overfeed. It appears to be about to split again and has yet to move from where it went in at. This is my second nem (my roommate killed my extremely small green bubble tip nem when I went on vacation) and I am quite proud that it is showing growth and appears to be happy!

Is the underside of the oral disc/column smooth? Or does it have bumps? Answering that will go along why towards IDing it.

Since they said it was a clone, and the looks are actually making me think BTA (( E. quadricolor )). I used to keep them and their tentacles were very similar to yours.

Looks to me to BTA...

Bta

I say BTA too. Not a rose, but a green BTA.

+1 tentacles look like bta, but is the column smooth or spotted?

It is cream in color and appears to be smooth. What does this mean?

I agree with it probably being a bta, but ltas also clone themselves this way.

Only two host anemones clone themselves, BTA and Magnifica. That look like a BTA. LTA do not asexually reproduce.
