What type of anenome is this?

[rwreef]

This nem was sold as a green bta... it does have a light green color under reef lights. However, I am not sure if that's accurate. Purple tips remind me of a hatian anenome...Thoughts?

 

[BlennyTime]

Yeah, looks like some variant of purple tip anemone. A lot of those species look white/tan too.

Looks like a sebae to me

Comparison for you

Sebae Anemone, Leather Anemone - Heteractis crispa

Sebae Anemone (Heteractis crispa) is also known as Leather Anemone.

Sebae or Pink/Purple tip Condy.

Does the bright pink foot help identify?

 

[SamMule]

I think condy nems have a red/pink foot. At least the few I've seen...

This gal is also constantly moving. While other BTA in tank are pretty stable.

For sure a condy ~Shaun K

Another pic for reference...thinking purple tip BTA?

BTAs don’t come in white TMK

Yah, the initial thought was it was bleached.

My votes on a Sebae. Too many tentacles for a condy and condy tend to look more like the tentacles all come from the centre of the disc rather than all around the mouth.

Don’t often see a pink footed sebae though, but you do condy so definitely has me wondering.

I saw this in divers den today and thought of this thread, a green nem with purple tips and a red foot. Haven’t seen one like that before. A little more green than yours, but maybe lighting.

Interesting, the main issue with this nem is that is constantly moves. There are 3 other nems (bta) in tank and they move but only in small areas. This guy goes everywhere, even went to the sump . Also, this is a friends nem. Not mine, just trying to help him out.

I absolutely think that is a BTA, no doubt about it. sebaes and condies, while they look similar, do not come in green ever. I have personally owned BTAs that looked precisely like that, but I know they were BTAs because at different times they looked more... BTA-ish.
I do see what some members are saying about possible sebae, but I doubt it personally. Condylactis is for sure off the table as they have few and long tentacles while this one has short, plentiful ones.
Another thing you mentioned is that it wanders more? That's something I have noticed about GBTAs over RBTAs in my experience.
I hope more peeps can chime in to correctly identify.
