What kind of anemone is this?

I got an anemone and it said LTA at the store. Is there such a thing as a green LTA? I thought it might actually be a BTA myself. Someone advise.

Are these pics with actinic lights only on? They look pretty blue, and it makes it hard to see the color well. It's not a bubble tip (doesn't have the bublous tips that give it it's name), not a curly q (tentacles too thick and not curled), and not a carpet (typically have very short nub-like tentacles). It looks like some of the sebae's i've seen. Did you bother to go to the saltwaterfish invert pages to compare pics?

I take back my earlier statement. I was looking primarily at the second pic. The first pic does indicate that the ends of the tentacles have the bulbous appearance of a bubble tip. I've seen a lot of stores advertise various anenomes under the blanket term "LTA".

Is there such a thing as a green sebae or LTA? It is green when the daylight lights are on. It also has a red/pink foot.

Take another pic, make sure your flash goes off, try different angles.
Looks like sebae to me too.

looks very much like a long tentacle anemone.. the red column/base is associated with LTA's
The fact that it's not having very long tentacles may mean that it's not very healthy or water conditions are not great....
My clown's have stuck to my LTA's like crazy...
