Please help identify this Anemone

[sassAwrasse]

Just bought this anemone with a pair of tomato clowns yesterday.
Anemone was sold as a long tentacle, but someone told me to check to make sure it was/wasn't a ritteri (magnificent).
I'm not sure about the ritteri but figured I'd doublecheck here.

My pictures are not that great, they are from a cell phone. It's mostly white but the tips seem to glow light green, then fade to a light blue then to white. It's foot is bright orange.






Thanks in advance for the help!

looks to be a very bleached long tentacle anemone

definitely agree with the long tentacle after looking through a few pictures here on the forums.

The anemone seems healthy. Others had seen in before at the LFS, it had been there for quite some time. Ate great yesterday.

Do you think it will "color up" or stay that way?

We have MH for main lighting. When the LEDS/actinics are on, it glows a brighter green.

It will eventually color up, the feeding is good because it does not have enough alga at this time to live soulie off of.

What would you recommend feeding and how often?

I've been feeding our RBTA's silversides, but was recently reading that they are not good.

Not a Ritteri/Magnifica. I've been advised to go to the grocery store, buy a fresh piece of salmon, chop it up, freeze into an icecube tray and thaw as needed.

M. Doreensis- feed it small pieces of shrimp, clam, salmon, etc.

I have shrimp, flounder, and scallops frozen ready for use.

DO NOT use sliversides. Well try them first. Some people have reported a freezing and rezreezing of them, have caused issues before.

With my last Ritteri, I used to buy those flat packs of larger, whole fish from my LFS. Cannot recall what they were (perhaps silversides), but never had a problem. Perhaps when packaged up as aquarium food there is more care taken to avoid spoilage. Got to the point that the nem just got too big, so I stopped feeding him myself - but the clowns kept giving him stuff so really made little difference.

my anemones get some chunks of our homemade fish food, as well as silversides.

Was just wondering about the silversides as I've recently read a few things that said not to feed them to anemones.

thanks guys.
