White was bought as "ritteri anemone" and purple green one as "radianthus".
I think white could be saebae although I can not see any dots on tentacle ends or they are so small like tip of the needle. It was put on highest point in tank and on rather high flow.It moved around the rock only when flow changed due to bad jebao controller and now it's back on top. From what I see it's foot is always on top of the rock and in closes up a bit in dark. Clowns ran into it like 5min after I placed her in tank and stayed there.

Purple green one was purchased yesterday. It came attached to small rock which I've put on big one hosting white anemone too. It crawled down from that little and attached itself to big, but from what I could see few hours later it seems like it burried her foot in the rock. One friend suggested it's macrodactyla anemone.
From what I see they should be in sand.

Should I try to detach purplegreen one and place in sand or just wait too see if it will come down?

They are both about 10cm wide now and kept in mixed reef which will from time be SPS dominant. I've put them on the right rock (don't have fresh picture) and removed everything except histrix away but will tranfer it too if needed.

Every advice is much appriciated.

hi. what you need to see? should I detach it from rock and take picture of foot or will picture of how it's attached suffice?
 
The white one looks like it could be a mag and the mouth on the green one looks like that if a mag what color is the foot on the anemones? if you can't get a pic you can just post color

so... i catched white one unprepared with skirt up :) (turned on the lights during the "night") so I could catch some pictures.
It always "wraps up" during the night.

Purple/green one melted on the rock :hammer::lolspin: and there's no way to get a good picture. It burrowed it's feet into crevices in the rock and it does not wrap itself during the night, it's alwayes "open".I would say it's whit from the bottom.

The white one is definitely a mag of the tips are bubbled that points to mag bubble tips bubble in the middle of the tentacle as for the green one I'm not sure [emoji848]

Does the white anemone with the brown foot have dots running down the foot? It's difficult to tell from the picture, but if it does then it's a H. magnifica. If not, then I would say it's a BTA. The other one almost looks like a green hairy mushroom to me...
 
What color dots should be? I do not see them but it's hard to see bottom from where she's placed now.
Purple one does look like kind a like mushroom (I have one small blue) but it's definitely anemonene :)
It's seems like it travels to the bottom, but veeeeeery slowly.
 
The white one looks like a mag with its tentacles but if it has no dots then it couldn't be a mag. It just really looks like one I've had so many and that's what the tents look like when they are first settling in
