Anemone Identification/Health

[wookiefever]

Hello,

I recently got an anemone last night (seller said it was a GBTA) but I am thinking its a type of LTA. I was hoping that someone here might be able to identify it for me. Also this is my first anemone and I know it's still new to tank (less than 24hrs) but does this guy look okay? I am worried he might be dying.

Thanks in advance.

That is a bubble tip but it does not look that good if give it time to recover and see if it gets better in a few days is put it on the Rockwork bubbles don't like the sand

Okay so you think I should move it to rock work or let it move itself

I'd put it on the rocks turn down the flow until it attaches this way it's attached firmly to the rock and then you can give it some flow

My flow is super slow. I put it on the Rock and he kinda just rolled off the rock

It needs to be on the rock work,you might have turn off all your flow so it can attach.It is in bad shape.

Color is beautiful on it though. Mine was supposed to be a GBTA and was clearish white. He's just now starting to turn a brownish color as he was bleached. Best thing is to make sure it attaches to the rock and leave it alone. It will find where it wants to be. Mine is an acrobat.

Thanks although he didn't make it and is now dead heads turned white and stringy and would fall apart on touch. Anemone also flattened out. I'm kinda failing at the whole reef keeping aspect

How old is your tank? Anemones need very established tanks, minimum 6 months, preferably a year old.

My tank is only 3 months :/
