Hello guys

Yesterday, I was in my LFS . I saw this carpet in a tank upside down. I asked the owner about it. He told me that the anemone arrived two days ago and it was gaping, and he wanted to throw it away, I asked to give to me.
After one day in my tank it seems like its coming back, but I know its too early to know for sure what's going to happen.

I need some help identifying this species.:confused::confused::confused:


Thank you for read it and I appreciate your help

Yes, a very bleached pizza anemone. I suggest trying to feed small foods like mysis or shrimp every couple of days to help with nutrition, since obviously the zooxanthellae are missing. Small feedings will nourish the anemone and will expedite the recolonization of the tissue with zooxanthellae.
