Great pic with the clownfish nearby. I assume they're bonded?

Nice anemone. If "feeder fish" means live fish, you don't need to bother with that- they'll happily take dead food. Just put it on the tentacles, the anemone will take it. Live foods are best used only with animals that absolutely will not eat anything else.

If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

Welcome! So am I the only one that thinks the anemone is either heteractis malu or heteractis crispa (sebae) , (leaning towards h.malu), and not an LTA? Either way, the advice given is solid.

Thank you! It’s been almost a full week and he is still in same spot but does look good.Welcome to R2R! Anemones can be weird little dudes. The spot between the rock and glass seems to be a preferred space for many sand-dwelling anemones.

Hello!
I’ve been a reefer for 1 year and have learned so much from this forum. I have a 30 gal tank. My anemone moved last night to a new spot and looks like a taco! He seems healthy. I feed him 1 feeder fish a week and yesterday was his day. Should I do anything with the stuff that’s on the outside of its body or just leave it? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Welcome! Glad you joined. Interesting to see different ways people feed theirs. Advantage you have on feeding whole feeder fish is its getting ALL the parts, ie: higher oils from liver, higher calcium from bones (potentially), so all around likely you have better feeding choice... though for my convenience, I will continue sticking with weekly feeding mine thawed LRS Reef Frenzy .
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state.
