Anemone ID

I was gifted this 90 gallon a while back. There were two anemones in there and one eventually split. I thought they were the same, but the one that split has become two huge separate ones while the other has always remained small and shy, except that it just out of the blue moved across the tank the other night to sit next to the other two. Any ideas on what the two bigger ones are? I believe the small one is a red bubble tip.

LTA's would go straight down to sand bed, pretty certain you have all BTA's, just the 2 do not have bubbly tips, which happens a lot.

All are btas, most btas tend to loose the bubbles, but sometimes the smaller ones tend to keep the bubbles and then loose it once they get bigger, at least that’s how it is in my tank. Sometimes the bubble just appears n disappears...

Interesting.
I notice my BTA's lost their BT in my tank until I installed new strong lighting.
Now, where the light shines the BT have reappeared and where shaded, still no bubble.
Could their be some connection to light?

I don't think anyone has figured out for certain why some bubble and some don't.

The two stringy ones are directly under the light at the top of the tank and seem to enjoy it there. The small one always hid back at the bottom, back of the tank until just now when it moved to join the others.

It just seemed coincidental, that as I moved the shadow on nem, the bubbles disappeared but only in the shadowed area......the high lit area remained with big BT's...
