Help identify anemone

Can anyone help identify this anemone? I'm assuming majano, but I had a bubbletip in the tank a while back which I thought had died. Then I found this guy recently next to another one. That's all there are, just the two, so it's not taking over the tank.

Real small. One is about an inch across and the other maybe 1.5 inch across. Suppose I could just feed them and see if they get bigger? I hadn't been feeding them because I didn't even realize they were there.

They don't really move around like I've seen every other bubble tip do. They just sit in the one spot, more like I've seen majanos do. I'd LOVE for them to be bubbletips, but have my doubts. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...

Here is another photo of the larger of the two anemones. He's getting bigger and has moved a bit, more into the light. His stalk is quite long and stretched out. Looking more and more like a BTA to me now...My clown has also started to think about hosting it.
