On the pics it looks like the clowns do host it but in real they seem to be very willing but seem to jump away every time entering the anemone??

If you are talking about the anemone, it is an LTA -- M. doreensis. Should note that they are sand dwelling anemones.

Its a long tentacle anemone and it doesnt look happy. They are sand dwelling anemones and the fact that it is on the rocks tells me that something is off. Give us some info on your tank. How long have you had it?

ooooo, you beat me only by a little todd.

 

[dirk_brijs]

ok guys.
How sure are we about it being an LTA??
reason me asking is after reading up on LTAs and listening to you all LTAs supposed to be sand dwellers right. So took it of the rock i placed it on first and put it in the sand. Now it doesnt seem to attaching to anything on to of the sand in the sand... even dug a hole for it to the glass and tried that but it seem to do everything possible to wriggle itself out of it blowing itself up to the max??
Now tried again to place it on a rock and there it seem to be attaching itself??
Anyway I placed it back on the sand for now as I wanted to check with you guys first before sending it back permanent to a rock maybe??
Please help??
Some more pics of it early this morning no lights on yet
just 5 minutes after a dug a hole for it burying its foot complete but you can see it blowing itself up trying to come out of it. And oh yes the clowns still are all around it but didnt see one actually enter the anemone??

I am 99% positive that it is an LTA (( M. doreensis )). Just because it isn't attaching in/on the sandbed doesn't mean it isn't an LTA -- it isn't all that uncommon for people to have issues getting them settled in.

Some tank specs would be nice;

Tank size
What lights?
What are your parameters? (( with numbers ))

Its an LTA, period. Dig a hole in the sand all the way to the glass and next to a rock. Put its foot in the hole. Reduce flow to near nothing and give it a chance to settle. Leave it be. If you damage the foot even the least little bit you risk its death.

This is all assuming you have a tank sufficient to keep it (Lighting, size, etc)

Yeah, LTA, and agree, don't go just pulling it off anything.
I've seen LTA's up on rock reaching for more light when it wasn't strong enough.
