He looks this way all the time, when he reaches out his tentacles are always thin and straight and not very long. He has a beautiful coloration and stripes on the tentacles and his moth base.
I just wish i could read about jhim and optimal care.
Anyone have any other ideas on what kind he is.
I picked him up at a LFS so i assume he isn't rare at ALL.

Looks like my BTA, which has split 4 times. I use to spot feed them frozen mysis and brine, but no more. Trying to slow down their growth now. They are just feeding off the tank because I have not spot fed in quite awhile. Clowns love them, all of them, and run back and forth from one to the other.

I have no clue, but what color is its foot? (sometimes that helps people to i.d it)
As far as care....most anemones need strong lighting, excellent water quality, and maybe a snack 1 or 2 times a week. I feed mine a small piece of raw scallop from the freezer section....2x a week

Your right. didn't think about adding a pic of the foot. It is Yellowish whitw and orange at the base. It does appear to have spots inside the food pedestal if you were to look "through" it with the light on the opposite side.
I will try to add a pic of it's foot later.

I agree about being a long Tentacle anemone which is really all I needed. I did find a few pics of this type but the names varied.
I WISH it was a purple LTA, they are way more than I paid for this guy.
ANy way, thanks - He is still doing GREAT and I am getting ready to move him from QT to one of my DT's in a week or so.
