Anemone ID plz.....with bonus bad pic!

[LosingSleep]

I'm having a hard time IDing an anemone. I was thinking it was a RBTA but as it matures, I'm second guessing myself. I've seen pictures of Majano anemone lately that look more like this little nem than RBTAs.

Doesn't look like a Mojano to me, looks like a BTA, can't tell if it's an RBTA from the pic however.

I believe its a BTA but I too cant tell if its RBTA from the pic. Its definately not a mojano. I would see if you can get more light on it. My BTA'S bubble more when they are high up near the halides. If you can get it closer to the top of the tank, have you tried to feed it to see how it reacts? You can try feeding it once or twice a week to get it to grow faster and identify it easier.

I placed it closer to the halide and it moved itself to a more shaded area. Maybe it was the flow it didn't like though.


I've been feeding it silversides every few days for a couple months now. It stopped growing at about 2-2.5 inches.
