Need help ID Anemone

Trying to figure out this exact Anemone and why it does this almost every night. Is it not liking something or just normal. The one pic the anemone didn’t care for the crab
Thanks!!

It's looks like a very unhappy BTA. How big was it when you first got it? How big is it now? Something odd is happening to the foot. Looks like pedal laceration but I doubt it is.

Can you provide specs on your tank? How old? How big? What kind of lighting? What kind of flow?

Yeah, the “happy” pictures don’t look very happy

Hmmm... the photos from today make it look like it was injured -- possibly a ripped foot -- and it's in the process of healing. Give it good light and decent flow, make sure your water parameters are at acceptable levels, and it should pull through.

Bubble anemone my friend.

The anemone actually came attached with another on a rock that the that a store attempted to separate and that might be the foot issue, it has moved around several times to where I would prefer it not to be...of course. I have never
tried to move it or want to. Size looks to be 1-1.25”

The majority of the tank it is in now is from a previous established tank that was almost a year old and this 40 gallon is close to 3.

lighting was a fluval sea 2.0 and today put an Orbit ic pro on there with settings set a lot lower to acclimate everything to a stronger light.

The flow is moderate and water parameters are good except nitrates are 10ppm was 20. When inflated the tips move around but not blowing side to side. 20% water change weekly trying to bring it down slowly.

Thanks for the reply’s
