Anemone ID and health

Hello all

This pic is an anemone at LFS--they say it is a GBTA with orange tips. It is up top because they have it in a tank with lower light, so no bulbs

Probably about 4-6 inches wide when fully inflated. I have a larger size clown so want a decent size anemone so not to be too stressed with my two clowns.

I have a 125 gal, stable for 7 or 8 years, just softies, plants and mushrooms for now. Max Razr lighting. Sponge covers or my Koralia powerheads.

So I am ready for anemone. Just wanted verification that this specimen is in fact a BTA, and whether it looks healthy or not

Thanks in advance

It does look like a GBTA to me. And it is a tiny bit bleached but has good coloring and is otherwise healthy.

Thanks Healthy enough to recover you think, or would you pass?

Absolutely healthy enough to recover, just far from it's full glory. In ideal conditions it would have slightly longer tentacles with a lot more color.
