Yeah, after more research on H. magnificas, this one does behave more like one than it does a Sebae anemone (as I originally thought). In the LFS, it was on the glass up near the top. I have it on a rock with a large hole to stick its foot into up against the back glass. This was to give it the option of staying on the top rock or moving up onto the glass in the back. Either option would be great for me, since it is then a bit more isolated & has a bit more room to expand.
Never really considered getting one of this species before but it was sent to the LFS as an x-lg purple tipped sebae & that's what we all thought, but I think you guys are right. I'm glad I posted a pic here.
I was also under the impression that Magnificas/Ritteris had knobby tips but apparently some do & some don't. Anemone identification is sooooo hit/miss eh.
Thanks for the heads up.
I'll keep a close eye on it & if it does not do well in my tank, I'll look to getting it into another, more suitable home.
