I am aware it is close to a powerhead intake. But .. in a 20g tank, where is it NOT going to be near a powerhead intake?
Now riddle me this. How on earth do we create intake guards for Seio pumps? I am more than willing to try something out. It is doing extremely well in my small system if this is a riterri. It hasn't looked bad once yet, and I have had it a week. I am still working on better shots of the column and what not... bare with me. He is not in the best of spots to photograph the foot/column area. I'll try posting something here and on RC about guarding a Seio intake. I don't know how to do it though.

Well, Scott, the only thing is .. and .. well, you'll have to know what my feelings are on this one without me even saying it. If it is ritteri, your 20g is a temporary home at best, as nice as your 20g may be. As nice as this anemone is, I'm actually still hoping for you that it's a BTA. It would be more tolerant, should hopefully stay a more manageable size, and will be far less destructive to your reef inhabitants.
If it is a ritteri, it's bad news. This species has a tremendous energy output and will quickly starve if not fed adequately ... and it will very quickly outgrow the system if it is fed adequately. And it will just pound on your bioload. And, as I discovered through experience, it is very ill advised to try to manage the growth by reducing or eliminating feedings. I'm sorry to sound like a downer, but I really do hope that we're all mistaken here and it's not a ritteri. If it IS a ritteri ... I suggest you start planning your upgrade now.

hah...
I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, as long as it's happy and healthy RIGHT now.. I'm happy. At LEAST I can keep him happy for now.. and make changes if need be. I am determined to take a bazillion shots of the foot to get an ID. not sure if it matters .but as stated , this was sold from Ocean's in Calgary as a GBTA

Okay.. I can't get clear shots of this thing. My camera sucks! This is the best I could do, sorry.
