What anemone is this ?

[Moonfruit777]

Hello,

I took this picutre a while ago when diving on my vacation on the Maldives.
It looks really awesome and I'd love to have an anemone like this for my reef

What kind of anemone is it and why has it a two colored foot ?? I'v never seen an anemone like this anywhere else so i felt like posting it here

Greetings

Felix

Look like a magnifica which has purple foot. The red is interesting. I wonder if it is a lighting effect. The light seems to be going from left to right. The right half is shaded and showing the true color.

By the way, it looks to beautiful in nature. I would have love to see that.

Yeah I'm trying to figure that red line out too, but the purple foot indicates magnifica.

The true colors are definitely red and purple. Magnifica seems to be the most obvious guess because it is the only anemone found on the Maldives (beside carpet?), not sure about it though!
My guess would be that it could be a result of sexual reproduction - again not an expert and no idea if that is possible but i'v seen one of my green H. quadricolor/ BTA spawn in my old tank a few years back so i know that it is a thing...
