I've seen a few come into a LFS near me. They're not common though. I think Orion picked one up?

First one I’ve seen. Think he said he’s had it 2 or 3 years now. Funny thing his pair of Picasso clowns prefer a brain coral to hang out in/on as opposed to the long tentacle nem. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Other of my percula pairs are less picky and readily accepted crispas. Though when given a choice percula usually prefer giganteas.

Yep, my rose BTAs (several hundred clones) often looked EXACTLY like that.

I think we would need to see the column for a positive ID. The red in my picture had very distinct verrucae on the column, which combined with the sand placement in the tank I got it from and other factors made me sure it was a long tentacle.

BTA does not have the Macro Dactyly (big fingers) centred in the oral disk.
Anemones are a family but they have their differences and OP seems pretttty sure about the ID and have personally seen the foot already so it is probably a Macrodactyla Doreensis as said by the owner Last edited by Small Heavens; 05/10/2019 at 11:20 AM. |

Mini version here:
https://m.liveaquaria.com/product/2159/?pcatid=2159 ..I would guess they come from Vietnam because I have never seen them at my LFS who does not import from Vietnam. Last edited by Small Heavens; 05/10/2019 at 11:42 AM. |

Lovely colouring, the sharp red looks great on Apercula's reef picture. I like the pale green tinted types personally but I do see the red ones with purple tip around online at WhiteCorals.com commonly but not as often as greenish, or neon green, or paler purple or those half purple & half green - perhaps the seller (or one of the webpages) can tell you where that colouring originate from mostly.
