Long tentacle ID

Long tentacle but do you guys know the technical name of it? i cant find the correct name of it. If its the one i found then i need a deep sand bed.

M. doreensis. It is a sand dwelling and low flow anemone. I'd reduce that flow and bury its foot.

Macrodactyla doreensis

Dig a hole and stick his foot in there. He looks pretty healthy so should grab hold pretty quickly. As aggressive as those clarkis are, you want to get that foot protected.

If the clowns keep bothering it and won't give it time to attache I've heard that some people put a strawberry container over their anemone or they make a barrier out of the plastic 'egg crate' stuff until it has time to attach and settle in.

It needs to be buried up to the oral disk in the sand. In other words, up to the tentacles. All of the orange colored column should be under the sand. It will not be happy unless it is that deep. M doreensis doesn't have the same ability to "attach" to substrate as rock anemones do. Unless you get it buried into the substrate it will continue to come loose and be blown around the tank.

Aside from that, it looks healthy.
