Anemone ID

[madducks42]

We picked up this anemone a little over a month ago from the LFS. It was labeled as a "purple tipped sebae", although there is some disagreement between my boyfriend and I on this. He thinks the label was "purple tipped" for something else in the tank and directly below that it just said "Sebae Anemone". But we both have crappy memories and their labeling at the LFS isn't the best. I'm not entirely sure what type of anemone this actually is; it's definitely not a bubble tip. I'm pretty sure it's not a condy. I'm not sure if it's a long tentacle or a sebae though. When we put it in the tank I put it in sand next to a rock for it to jam it's foot under. It moved onto the live rock in about a week. It's moved around a little since then but has stayed in the same general area, always on the rock. I thought sebae anemones stated on the sand but then I read that one type, can't remember if it was h. crispa or h. malu, that could go in the sand or rock. Any thoughts on what this one is?

Looks like an lta/condi to me. I had the same one. Mine was a condi

Purple LTA is my vote.

I'm leaning towards it being a purple tipped condy over a LTA because I think LTA's usually have white bumps/marks on their foot. I don't have any pictures of this nem's foot but it's a solid smooth looking pink.

You will definitely see the white spots and melon colored foot on an LTA, but those sure look like purple LTA tentacles. I have never had a condy myself though. Just LTA's, BTA's and carpet. The LTA's have really captured my interest. The one on the right in pink is our newest addition. Sorry for the salt creep on the glass. Time for a cleaning!
