What is this anemone species?

[laezur]

Hiya!
Just picked this anemone up from the LFS and they had it labelled as a “Purple, white tip anemone” just wondering if that’s correct as I got it for quite a bargain considering the size of it.

Just want to be sure so I can provide the right level of care based on the species.

Any tips from those who know what species it is, also helpful!

This is what I was hoping, and Google seems to agree. Is there a specific picture I can take to make it easier?

Take pictures of the foot and the edge underneath the tentacles to be sure, but it seems like it might be ritteri or crispa.

This really is the best I can get with it’s current position haha. It’s foot is very large, and underneath the tentacles is a skin like texture that folds and moves like a skirt

I'll be the one...I took the blue pill. You shouldn't have purchased it without knowing about it first.

Thanks for your input. I don’t disagree. But it’s here now.

If your camera/phone has a "pro" mode or similar you should be able to adjust the white balance for more representative colours.

Turn off the blues. We need closeup pics of the oral disc, under the oral disc, foot, and tentacles. If it’s a mag, they usually have visible verracue under the oral disc. They typically have some tentacles that y as well. See pics for reference

Will take a picture here shortly, I’ve just introduced it to the tank and don’t want to stress it too much. Firmly holding on to a rock right now, outside of colouration it’s looks almost identical to the one in the picture. Definitely multiple pronounced Y shape tentacles. Can’t see it’s mouth as of yet

Update: It’s now hosting my clownfish. I was gobsmacked when I walked in and saw this. What a miracle of nature.

That’s a Ritteri. Not a long tentacle

 

[ReeferHD]

definitely a ritteri/magnifica, looks just like mine.
