Can you take a closer pic for us, or a larger one. So that we can see it closeup?

I think it may be a Heteractris magnifica, but am not sure, anyone else have any ideas? Sure is a beautiful anemone.

Good find! Definitely not a BTA. As trueblackpercula said, it likes a lot of light.

That is a H. magnifica. The color of the base, the color of the tip of the tentacles, the shape of the tip of the tentacles and the fact that some of the tentacles split into two, the size of the anemone, all c/w this species. (plus the fact that it climb on your glass to get closer to light and current)
This anemones requires clean water, lots of light and lots of current. it is a beautiful anemone and will so well in a tank if the above are provide for it. It will do best under MH at least 250 W but prefer 400 W right over it (like with in 12 inches)
