white carpet?

In some of the earlier pics, I was confident it was haddoni. In those last pics it looks more gigantea. Is it dug into the sand or attached to a rock? Does it have colored verrucae on the column? If so, then it is a gig.

I don't see any verrucae on the column, but it is attached to a rock for sure right now. The column is a light pink with little whitish dots. I have a pic, just gotta get it loaded yet. Still hasn't moved from its spot and looking wonderful.

Here are a couple pics, though none at the area where the foot meets the tentacles.

Still haven't got the MH hung, still under T 5

Attaching to the rock would suggest gigantea. Haddoni dig into the sand. However, no colored verrucae suggests haddoni, although gigantea can have faded verrucae when the anemone isn't robust. Haddoni often have a reddish colored ring around the mouth, but not always. In the last pics, the tentacles are more similar to gigantea, though haddoni can sometimes have longer tentacles like those. I'm still not 100% certain which species it is.

I stand by my original id, that's a Haddoni. Gigantea don't bury their foot under the rocks like that, no verrucae, short tentacles; It's a Haddoni.

That last pic I posted was on 4-2, well between yesterday and tonight the nem has moved almost halfway across the tank. The entire time on rocks. Nothing has changed...lighting, water chemistry, flow...all constant. Wonder where it is going? Still full out and still with a tight mouth too. I noticed the foot was light pink with white dots towards the top as well.

Still firmly attached to the rocks though, used to be in the little cove to the far left in the pic.
