Anemone ID please.

This was labeled as a GBTA. It seemed pretty bleached to me but the guy said that it was just how it's normal coloration was. It seems like an almost neon green, clear/whiteish color. It has grabbed onto the rocks and the foot is very healthy and it has moved around a little. Seems healthy nonetheless. Would like o know if it definitely is a GBTA and if it is in fact bleached or not. Thanks!!

Yes it's a bleached GBTA. Need to slowly acclimate it to your lights and feed it twice a week with mysis or some other meaty food like chopped fresh fish or shrimp.

Mine looks exactly the same and has been under my leds for months now, and eats, then split and both have been like this for weeks, how to acclimate them?

When I say acclimate to lights it is to lower the intensity of the lights and slowly bring them back up to where you normally have them set. Corals are a bit easier because you can just start them on the bottom of the tank and slowly move them up to where they are happiest unless they're a Euphylia then they would normally stay on the bottom or close to it. No need to change light intensity with corals. But with an anemone they will move on you so its best to know what kind of lighting they came from and if not just lower the lights by say 50% of what you normally run them at, then slowly adjust up to your normal so they can get use to the lights.
