Can anyone ID this anenome?

I bought this guy months ago at the marine scene. They were selling as a Green Bubbletip anenome.

The tentacles look kind of long to me.

Here are some pics...

 

 

 

What do you think?

Looks just like mine LTA - long tenticles anemone.

Marine Scene got it right, E. quadricolor, Bubble Tipped Anemone.

 

If it was an LTA, either H. crispa or M. doreensis, there would be distinctly visible verrucae on the column under the oral disk. Not to mention, M. doreensis, the specimen most commonly called LTA would have its column buried in sand. H. crispa will be on rock occasionally, but typically captive specimens will also bury their column in the sand.

 

Enjoy the BTA and don't be surprised if it divides.

Thanks for the attention. I am feeding this guy chunks of prime reef once a week, i know it is healthy because when i touch the food to it it grabs and retracts the tentacles.

 

Thanks,
