Cool! I thought it was a soft coral when I bought it. Do you know what kind??

looks like a severely bleached mini carpet anemone

Thanks guys, I bought it like 3-4 weeks ago and it always looked like that so, I'm not impressed. (Nor have I ever with the crooked lfs' in my area)
Even 2 years in I'm still new to a lot of things.

If anyone could give me some pointers on how to go about getting it back to health and perhaps unbleached I would really appreciate it. (medication, qt, food, maybe placement, the lights are a dual t5HO one full actinic one daylight like the choralife or whatever it was called.)

just treat it like any other anemone, except they are super hardy. provide good lights, clean water, and weekly feeding. I feed all my anemones the same food I feed my fish, supermarket frozens.. cut them up to the size of their mouth.

Sounds good, I feed my fish flakes of omega one garlic flavour is that OK? if you go on google images and type pink and yellow maxi carpet anemone there is one that looks almost exact so mine may not be as bleached as hotelbravo said.

I would feed real seafood, not flakes.. no need for garlic flavor.. (garlic is not natural in the ocean and can cause issues to fish in the long run)

shrimp, clam, oyster, squid, octopus.. anything.. if you have an Asian market around, you can get a frozen mix bag
