I just bought 2 rainbow bubble tip anemones and they're are bagged just had them in a 6 hour trip and one is splitting and the other one has a white ring around its mouth. I Have them bagged up but my car broke down and I won't be able to make it back home until Sunday what should I do? Should I just leave them in the bag? What steps can I take to make sure they survive?

Maybe get some fresh salt water and an air bubbler from walmart with air-stone and oxygenate the water... Try and keep temps up...

I don’t know where you read that, but I can assure you it’s not true. There is at least 7 years of lineage in my rbta’s.

Where are you reading this?
For the OP, I say leave them in the bags if they are still in there even, and take your chances. The expense to “attempt” to save them probably isn’t worth it, so just hope for the best.

Keep temp maybe a drop of Seachem Prime don’t worry about light and most importantly oxygen
The first people to keep reef tanks were the romans keeping anemones but they didn’t last long
Along comes Anna thyne who stressed changing out water and “aerating it” as we currently understand the important thing here NEIN oxygen and water surface agitation has exchange etc.
Anyways she simply poured the water from a certain heights to “mix and aerate” it.
“She then transferred them to a glass bowl, changing the water every other day. Not having enough of a supply to continue to replace the seawater, she then switched to aerating it by transferring the water between vessels in front of an open window. This task was usually undertaken by her servant.”
That last sentence didn’t need to be included but eh lol : ) good luck hope they make it!

i think you’re thinking of the Rainbow Bottom Anemones. Not just plain old rainbow bubble tips.
