Is my Anemone okay?

[FAS4WRD]

Ok, first time poster, long time lurker.

I just got into reef tanks this year after keeping a 55 gallon high tech planted for the last 4 years.

I setup my current nano tank February of this year and have had nothing but great success so far.

My current setup is a 24g JBJ nano.

I use an inTank media basket in the first chamber with polyfill (changed out every 5 days), charcoal and purigen.

The second chamber is a refugium with 3 different types of macro algea.

The third chamber is where my heater is and I replaced the standard JBJ pump with a Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200.

Long story short, I have a new addition to my tank, I believe its a Sebae anemone, I'm no nematode expert.

My question is : Is it normal for an anemone not to move or attach to an object? This one is not moving and it is not attaching to rock or sand. It looks okay to me but again, I'm a novice when it comes to anemones.

Hard to tell what kind it is. But it looks like it has its foot buried under the sand. It will probably anchor to the glass under the sand.

If it is a sand dweller, might be a Malu.

I was thinking the same thing about it being a Malu. It's foot is actually just resting on top of the sand, its not digging in or moving to my knowledge.

Just sticking your arm in the tank causes enough of a current to move the anemone around, its not doing much.

I have my Jebao PP-4 turned off and a filter sock over my powerhead exit up top so theres almost no current in the tank whatsoever.
