I am sorry to be bearer of bad news, but that is a dying bleached small green S. gigantea. It will be long gone when Xmas come around.
Yellow is bleached green anemone, and deflated with open mouth.

 

[TracyZeuner]

is there any chance of saving him?

 

[OrionN]

S. gigantea require lots of flow and high light. I think your anemone is already doomed due to infection. Try to give it good current and hope for the best.

 

[TracyZeuner]

I tried to put him in some high flow area, but he just blows away. His mouth is open all the way right now. What caused the bleaching?
Is there even a yellow carpet? The guys at my LFS are pretty cool, they will take him back and give me a refund. If he can be saved, I would like to keep him if I can.
PS- I did notice that one of my pepermint shrimp was kinda picking on the anemone

 

[OrionN]

There is no such thing as a yellow carpet. I would take him back ASAP if you can.

 

[TracyZeuner]

Thanks
What caused the bleaching?

 

[TracyZeuner]

Well no problem, they took back the "yellow" carpet and they will try and find me a nice green one.

 

[OrionN]

That is great. Stress can cause bleaching.
I would avoid S. gigantea. There is only less than a handful of reefer on Reefcental able to keep S. gigantea long term. I see that you have a blue S. haddoni. Maybe you should stick to S. haddoni, at least until you do extensive research on keeping S. gigantea.

Oi... That poor carpet... OrionN is correct, little to no chance I'm afraid.

 

[TracyZeuner]

Thanks-
When I bought him they said he was a haddoni.
In the future, how can I tell the difference between the two?
Thanks again for all the help
