There is a lot of confusion between common names. Often bta and bulb anemones are used interchangably. They are two different species bta is Entacmaea quadricolor and the bulb is Gyrostoma Quadricolor.
I just coppied this from a reputable online store which has a bta named like this
Bulb Anemone
(Entacmaea quadricolor)
Wish I could help you more with this but
I cannot tell the difference.
Your anemone will need special care to regain it's zooxanthellae.

Ya, im just basing my opinion on the 2 pics on swf.coms site so ... we will wait and see
the body structure of my anemone looks identical to the bulb anemone pic on swf.com site not even close to a bta

Did you read SWF's description, I coppied it:
The Bubble Tip Anemone, a.k.a. Bulb Anemone, is a very popular Anemone because it readily hosts most Clownfish species.
Their photo of the bulb looks just like your average bubble tip to me.
If you are refering to it's lack of bubbled tips, that is normal, some do some don't have them, normal.

I completely understand what you're saying, I agree with you.
The photo of their bulb anemone looks like a bta too. Here is my bta, it has no bubbled tips right now, I just took this for you. You can compare yours to mine. Aside form the color I think it looks pretty similar to yours.
Ok now here is the same anemone when it is displaying bubbled tips.

I am not certain that it is either. Especially with it being so bleached (seems to be a common thing with SWF shipped anemones) makes ID very difficult. Also its hard to ID from just a photo of the oral disc. A shot of the underside of the oral disc might help.

Wow, that is in bad shape. What kind of lights will it be under? That anemone needs some serious TLC.

If your anemone is going to recover it will need pristine conditions, good strong lighting, supplimental feeding will help. I found this on wetwebmedia, you may find some information in these Q&A's useful.
