ID Anemone

[805drummer]

Need help IDing this anemone. What can I feed it?

 

[ThRoewer]

Hard to tell without seeing the foot.
It is bleached and pretty unhappy which makes an ID even harder.

 

[805drummer]

I've had it for a week but it hasn't attached it's foot anywhere

 

[ThRoewer]

If you turn it around, how does it look? Any injury or curly stuff coming out?
Sometimes anemones won't attach if their pedal disk is injured. In that case you may need to treat it.

 

[805drummer]

No the foot is clear of injury and looks fine ... All tho I did see some stuff come out the tentacles like a slimy string

Here is the foot showing

Looks like Heteractis crispa. May have been dyed. These generally attach to holes or crevices in the live rock. I wouldn't attempt to feed it until it has attached.

 

[ThRoewer]

Yes, looks like a bleached crispa, but I don't think it was dyed.
Not attaching indicates a problem. Does it deflate sometimes?
I would place it into a some form of basket (make one from eggcrate or get one of those pond planting baskets at Home Depot or Lowe's) so that it doesn't tumble through the tank.

Sometimes it does deflate. But it tumbles through out my tank.. How long should i have it in the basket?

Until it attaches to something. If it is deflating and not attaching its foot it likely needs treatment.
