Looks ok to me. Give him some time to acclimate and move around. Be sure you have nem covers on powerheads.

Looks like a Sebae anemone to me.

They often arrived bleached from stress, collection issues, etc.

They often don’t make it when they bleach white. Let it acclimate for a few days, don’t overlight it, and try feeding it a little mysis a few times a week. It will need to feed since it dispelled all of the zooxanthella which would normally give it energy through photosynthesis.

Make sure it’s not getting too much flow, especially since it hasn’t attached. It might get sucked into your powerhead if you don’t have a guard on it.

Mine came white, bleached and hid for 6 months in a cave, give it time to adjust to your aquarium.
4 years on mine split and now clown fish hosts both

Yea well it moved to the bottom I guess they like to be near the sand not the rock. Yea I have guards on my power heads lol. Fed him a little and he took so we'll see.

Excellent! If it’s actually consuming the food, and not just holding it and letting it go, you got a really good specimen in that condition.

They are sand dwelling, so let it have a few inches of sand on the bottom for it to bury its foot.

if an anemone is dead you won’t have to ask, you’ll know.
