bubble tip or ritteri

i got this anemone yesterday. it was labeled as a green bubble tip
( Entacmaea quadricolor)

from reading a few books, it almost looks like a ritteri ( Heteractis magnifica )

the foot is pretty bright red. and it about as big as an open hand when stretched out. it found a crevice to lock itself into for now and is staying balled up

any thoughts

thanks for the info. the only reason i questioned it was because i personally have not seen one with the bright red foot.

thanks again
steve

Post a pic once it's opened up so the oral disc is fully exsposed. So far Entacmaea quadricolor is a reasonable assumption.

Cheers
Steve
