Anemone ID please

[TrevorLittle]

Just went to the local fish store and bought a "green star polyp" coral. While i was drip acclimating it I kinda discovered that this coral is actually more likely an anemone. I have a few ideas from research but I figured I would post a picture on a forum just to be sure. Thanks for looking!

thank you so much! that's what I thought it was but just wanted a second opinion

That was really sold to you as green star polyps? If so, that is fantastic!!

That is a score and a half as long as they didn't overcharge you for green star polyps.

Wow, I missed this part earlier. Lol

they were having a store wide sale and I got it at $25ish. But yeah I'm stuck with this anemone i guess haha. I have it at the top of the tank for good lighting there is a nice little crater in the rock for the foot to fit in but he doesn't seem that down to stick. I've been reading that they like sand but i have a 125 tall acrylic tank and i'm worried about it not getting enough light down there. Should i move him lower or just wait and see what he does? I don't know if you guys can tell but there is space between the bottom of his foot and the rock he's almost leaning. He was more nestled in earlier. I tried to include a picture but it wasn't uploading because it was too big

It will move to where it wants to be. They tend to move to where they feel they get enough light, flow and food. If they don't like the water quality they will also move around. Then they tend to stay put after they find their spot.

What lights are you running?

I'm running a 48 inch led strip aqua top is the brand. Has white and blue LEDs. It regrettably isn't enough for him to be anywhere but the top of the tank but I have a current USA orbit 48 inch led in the mail so he should be stoked for that. Also I keep finding him with his foot up that seems weird to me should I keep flipping him over or let him do his thing? He seems fine whenever I move him no gaping mouth like I've read about just keeps flipping upside down
