I posted the same pics on RC in the anemone forum and the consensus over there is that it's still
S. gigantea. Not that a merten's carpet wouldn't be "très cool" but yeah, I .. um... don't really want a 3ft anemone. One 2 footer is challenge enough.
I dunno if anyone cares as much about this sort of thing as I do, but in case you're interested, here's the thread over at RC:

So anyhow, apparently a healthy
S. gigantea exhibits the same longer-tentacles near the mouth as does
S. mertensii. I never knew that. Always something new and exciting to learn in this hobby!
