Does my Green LTA look healthy.

It looks pretty stressed, not footed down, did you just add it to your system? Is the mouth gaping?

Your tank looks rather new and the anemone looks rather pale looking ...how old is the tank and what are the params and what lights have you got . Do you have a full tank shot also maybe ..

Looks bleached to me. You're tank looks awfully new for an Anemone.

LTAs usually don't "stick" to glass longterm. They like to dig their food in a sand bed (I've heard of in rock crevices too but have never seen it).

I haven't had much luck with them. I had once for months and it wouldn't grip down on the sand. I ended up having to return it to the LFS even if my tank was over a year matured..

Needs deeper sand bed. Yours looks like barely the minimum needed. That you've had it a month and it hasnt settled us a great indicator. Besides being bleached, it looks fairly healthy though.

Sorry friend... it doesn't, as many previously has said. Couple things id like to add.

1. LTA's are sand dwelling anemones and generally do not like their foot exposed
2. Not sure if you added clowns after or before the anemone, but make sure the anemone is settled in before adding or exposing them to clownfish.

I think there is time if the animal is healthy to recover, however i would separate the clowns and let the anemone settle in 1st.

What type of lights are you lighting your tank with?

I agree it looks a bit stressed, the clowns trying to host it can stress it out as well if its not ready for them. They need super stable water chemistry and are best to add to an established tank, they are very picky about salinity and it must be stable. a constant flux will stress and kill them for sure. What lighting do you have? they need a TON of light. It looks like a Condy, If so they like to be placed in the sand if memory serves me right ( feel free to correct if this is inaccurate ) try digging a hole in the sand and placing the foot on the bottom pane of glass and burry the foot directly under the light.
