That's definitely not a BTA, I vote LTA also.

I'm going with LTA, then.

Any advice as for its care? Its foot is anchored to the bottom of the tank through five inches of DSB, it always fully inflates during the day and usually stays partially inflated at night. It eats when I give it little bits of food...it doesn't seem to be struggling for light. It's color was good when I got it and it's remained the same.

I am a little concerned about its growth - I know they get huge. But at this point, there isn't much I can do about it! It seems anchored in and happy. So, if anyone has any words of wisdom, let me know. Like I said, I guess I'm just going to roll with and so long as it remains healthy.

There's a trick for getting clams and anemones to release their foot -- they supposedly hate the feeling of metal. So you can take a butter knife and press it against its foot to get it to release it when/if you want to move it or get rid of it.

They don't require any different care than a BTA, they are considered one of the hardier types of anemones. If it takes food once in a while, great, but it looks healthy to me.

Thanks for the help! It sounds like I'm on the right track with this guy then, other than sheepishly admitting that my tank is too small for him. But really, aren't ALL of our tanks, regardless of the size, too small for ANYTHING??

It ain't like we can remake the ocean
