Actually, if I stare real hard at the anemone, I get the sense it is E. quad. after all. The tentacles have a barely discernable bulb shape (they are shaped almost like miniature bowling pins). It is a very badly bleached specimen though. I would say it's in trouble -- I agree with your prognosis, better hope it's being fed.

But on the topic of possible mislabelings .. is the sailfin tang really Z. veliferum? I thought there was a "sailfin tang" and a "Red Sea sailfin tang". The latter being Z. desjardinii (sp.?), which I thought was the version that has spotted cheeks (the other just being striped, no spots on the cheeks). [Do I have that backwards maybe? :? ] Seems to me the one pictured has spotted cheeks which would make me guess it's the Red Sea sailfin. I have no idea what I'm talking about. Somebody please set me straight!
