CRISPA or LTA

I just purchased this anemone online, it's been sold as H. crispa.

Thoughts on ID?

Yep, I think the tentacles are too long for a crispa!

The scattered tentacles on the oral disc also indicate a lta to me.

The stripes on the oral disk and lengthwise stripes on the tentacles also indicate LTA.
