Any idea what this is. Petco

Should I just leave it alone or help it to a location?

If it were an LTA, even bleached heavily there is still usually noticeable red at the foot, it's pretty easy to ID from foot and base.

Personally I would leave it alone, let it go where it wants, don't risk injuring foot, let it settle on it's own.

He mentions that the anemone has verrucae, which would indicate not bta. And mostly going from the nem's posture appearing closer to a stressed lta.

Lta's will in some cases attach to rocks, typically due to low lighting conditions, and not all lta's have a red base. I had a green with cream/tan base several years ago.

It does have spots on back side but clear base colored. Maybe bleached

Looks like a bta to me
Bta tentacles can vary,
your display btas are beautiful
If it attaches to rock then bta if it doesn't then it's still unknown because it could have a damaged foot etc

Still kinda hanging out hasn't done much. Thanks

If you search for BTA on google there are some that look fairly similar. There seem to be different types of BTA and some can easily be mistaken for LTA.

That is a LTA. 100% certain.

He is doing great. Stays on the sand. Problem is he set up shop behind my rocks where he is hard to see. Hopefully he will move to front. Is it ok to mix different nems?

Thanks

even with the strips around the mouth do you think its a LTA?

BTA white stripe is different than the one that some of the LTA have. The coloration of the tentacles and the strips on the oral plated is c/w LTA. Plus it is in the sand
