anemone id

i was really sure my purple lta was an m. doreensis but i am now puzzled wether it really is, although it has orange on its base its broken and mottled.

I would like some more opinions on the id of this anemone, its extremely responsive to feeding and anything meaty its instantly grabbed by more tentacles and pulled inwards, it slightly curls its outer edges when feeding.

it has a green highlight on the plate and on its mouth, there is white lines extending around the mouth.

when it gets irritated or scared it sucks itself completely into the sand.
