Anemone identification?

[Aquagirl84]

Anyone know what type this is?

Looks like a long tentacle anemone.

Macrodactyla doreensis (LTA). The very prominent whitish spots (verracue) under the oral disc in a uniform pattern and the red/orange foot are the key identifiers. Not all LtA’s have a red foot, but most do. All LTA’s have the verracue that look like that.

Additional clues include the location preference (sandbed) and the spacing of the tentacles on the oral disc.

beautiful purple LTA

Thank you for the detailed info. My bf bought this a few days ago but couldn’t remember the type. He def keeps moving into the sandbed.

I know he’s been in 2 days, initially placed on rock but he moved into the sand bed almost immediately.
