Is my H. crispa healthy?

[unbreakable]

after searching for the sebae anemone for my saddlebacks i finally found one that was healthy. they usually have been coming in dyed or in really horrible shape but i found a nice large one with a tight mouth and a foot intact. i placed it in the tank and i thought i just ended up with a dead one since it seemed stiff and smelled weird but i left home and came back and it seems to have attached to the glass where i put and "bubbled" up. its a creamish color

It looks really bleached to me. I had good luck feeding them small pieces of raw shrimp soaked in Zoe. It shouldn't be white at all more beige.

the actinics and a bad camera phone makes it look like this, true color is a cream/tan color

With some tlc and some food it will be healthy . Mine looked something like that when I bought it just before christmas, this is what it looks like now

what do you guys recommend feeding it?

I started out by just feeding mysis shrimp, I would squirt a pea size amount near its mouth.

Now I feed whatever seafood I can find fresh at the store, clams, prawns, fish, mussles... Just make sure its raw and hasn't been seasoned with anything

I cut them into chunks that are a little smaller then the anemones mouth and fed a couple of times a week, at least until it was starting to grow to fast, now I feed a couple of times a month

thanks blface and marie. ill probably wait a while to feed it and let it settle in. looks like it attached to the glass but is trying to expand across the sand and rock
