Heteractis Magnifica Anemone

[OCDP]

Well.. now I must say after reading your post Tony.. that we could take another swing at an ID. From what you have said and from what has happened with this anemone over the past 8 days.. evidence is clearly leading to a BTA.

Since I introduced this anemone.. I placed it at the highest point in the tank directly under the 150w HQI. It was in a very minimal flow area. The tentacles were just barely moving in the current. Since then, after cleaning my powerheads and replacing them.. the anemone was receiving a lot more flow from both ends.. strong alternating currents, and it did not like it... so down it went... into a hole, where it is barely being moved, and now.. is not near the bulb nearly as much, rocks are covering , etc.

So I just thought after reading that I should just point out some of my own observations. You would think that if the anemone was already at the peak of the reef.. then gets a much stronger flow.. that it would look better , and be better off. But it moved out of the light, and out of the flow.. so it's weird to me haha. I am going to take a photo of it's foot right now as I can probably get a good shot of the column.
