Anemone ID?
Can anyone identify what kind of anemone this is? I know the pic sucks but hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks!
(BTW, when fully spread the anemone is about the size of a dinner plate.) |

Looks like an LTA ( Macrodactyla doreensis ), does it have any "bumps" on the underside of the oral disc?

It does have some small "bumps," but I can't say for sure.
Yes, the clowns swim in it all the time!

...btw, I'm buying this entire setup off of a friend of mine, but don't really care for the anemone because it's HUGE and takes away from the rest of the display. If I decide to take this to a LFS, how much should I expect to get for it? Thanks!

does it have white/cream colored spots on the column of the anemone? I'd guess LTA also. My LFS gives me 1/3 credit or 1/4 cash of whatever they sell it for. So, if they were to sell it for $100, I would either get $25 cash or $33 store credit.

I would bring Dory to the LFS with the anemone, waaaaaaaaaay to small of a tank for her.

Well... the tank is 55 gallons, looks way smaller in the pic because its a hexagon tank. But yes, I plan on bringing the anemone/tang to the LFS, I was offered $100 for them!
