I'm somewhat confused as to what you are asking here...do you already own these anemones? the red is indeed a Gigantea, very hard to keep...that one looks healthy although the tenticles looks short and sparse towards the mouth. What size tank do you have, what do you have for lighting/flow?

I am pretty sure that it is a Haddoni. Once they are settled in, they tend to be fairly hardy (( as far as anemones go )), but the key is finding a healthy one. IME, they aren't the best shippers.
How long has it been in that tank? The open mouth gives me a bit of concern.
All of mine prefer to have their foot buried in the sandbed, under a rock. They are pretty sensitive to flow too -- too much will make them unhappy, but need enough to keep waste sweep away.

I get it from LFS 3 days ago, it was very heathly when i find it, I puted into my tank after I changing some water, so maybe it is have to accommodate the water.
I agreed with you, i think its Haddoni, but seems the little green haddoni is not happy to stay next to it, IMO Haddoni is much more easy to keep than the gigantea
My tank is only 20gallon

How long did the LFS have it? I have seen Haddonis look great for the first week or two, and just go down hill after that (( the tank wasn't the issue, was already housing a fully healthy Haddoni ))
How long have you had the green one? And was it looking/acting normal before you added the red one? In two of my tanks I have 2 Haddonis together (( total of 4 )), and they are doing great together.
Better start planning a bigger tank.

So wait, you have all 5 of those anemones in a 20 gallon tank? (( the 2 gigs, 2 Haddoni, and 1 mag )). I don't see any of them making it if you don't get another tank.

Too many anemone in a small tank. You need to get rid of all but one in such small tank. Even with just one of there, really good care, intelligent placement of pump and knowledge of the species is needed to keep that anemone from being chew up by power head or overflow intake.
Less in more in this case

Thank you for your advise!
I will move out the other Anemone but keep the baby and red one, I moved the red one to the other place now, its enough to let it fully open, but seems no more place to let it grow, becos I have Live rock around it, do i really need to add sand into my tank in this case?
