Bubble Tip or Majano or both?

Back Story: They reproduce really fast.

Im aware that theres also aiptasias so just ignore them.

Considering the size and foot I would lean towards GBTA.

That being said I'm far from a nem expert.

Someone from another forum said the following.

"That is a cribrinopsis crassa. It’s an anemone that many have been fooled into thinking it is a GBTA. They stay small and reproduce like rabbits. They will take over a tank. I had them as well and they divided to maybe around 50 anemones in a year or so. I too was told they were GBTA's. If you have a tank that you wish to dedicate to these little guys, go for it. They are a nice looking anemone. But if you wish to have a mixed reef, they just won't work out. Good luck."

I have a bunch of those. Thought they were gbta too but always wondered if that was really the case as they split any time they get bigger than a twoonie.

Fenix,

I think some of them may be the Cribrinopsis Crassa and some of them may actually be GBTA.

The one I got from you, I think, is a Cribrinopsis Crassa.

I did some digging and found this:

I would agree with Cribrinopsis Crassa, they certainly fit the description
