Supposed to be a BTA

So the guy at the LFS said that this was a BTA, but I don't see any bubble tips. Color is a reddish brown, pink tips. Can you guys tell me what you think

Looks like BTA to me, not all BTA will have bubble tips. Though AsK Dr. Ron!

Yep that is the bubble tip anemone. Not only a bubble tip but also a nice and hard to come by color variation. The majority of bubble tip anemones lose their bubble in captivity. all my rose bubble tips lost their bubbles, although sometime i see the bubbles here and there.

Do you have a picture of the base? It's probably a bubble tip but to me it looks like it could be something else too.

I will post it when i get home. I took a few pictures of the base thinking that someone might ask that question. Base is smooth brown.

My BTA has straight(no bulbs) around the the outside and has bulbtips near the centre

That's definitely a green bubble tip anemone. You can see the shimmer of metallic green subdued within the pinks.

Nice one, too!! Looks just like mine.
