What Kind of Anemone?

Sorry, must've just been bright lighting. After seeing the last pic, it doesn't look bleached at all. It looks like a healthy LTA & clown looks happy in his new 'condo'. Good luck w/ both!

That anemone (M. doreensis) needs a sand bed. They are sand dwelling anemones. IME, he will just move around until he get some sand to settle in. Either move him to a sand bottom tank or put in a container with sand in it for him.

No need to be sorry . It was because of the light coming in from the window. Even though it's indirect light it still throws things off. I got a black background I want to put on the sides to block the light from coming in.

Thanks for the advice. I will get another bag or two of sand. I moved the powerhead so the anemone doesn't get blasted. I ended up blasting the sand. I need to spread it back out.

Be careful with that heater in the tank too. It can and will burn the nem like crazy if it touches it.

I used a container with about an inch and half of sand. I put the aneome in the container yyesterday it didn't bury. I just moved the container to the spot were it was running before. Eventhough it isn't buring it's foot it looks good. I think it just needs a few days. Here it is right after I moved in 5 minutes ago.
