Odd Anemone...

[Droberts0724]

Anyone know why this supposed anemone is closed most of the day but open all night? It's was supposedly a white anemone with orange tips but I don't think it's an anemone...anyone

There is no such thing as white color in corals lol. If they are white then they are bleached. That nem looks like it is dying.

No there are naturally white corals, especially within anemones. This one does look bleached though. Can you get a closer pic of it?

Kinda looks like a Rose Coral from the Florida gulf. In has nice color under the blue lights at night but appears white under daylight. I got a couple on pieces of LR.

Looks like a bleached bta with shrunken tentacles.

I don’t know of a white acro or anything, but there are definitely a lot of nems that come in white/cream like sebae, Condy, and RFA. Bubble corals and fox corals are also often in almost-white shades

No I thought that originally but I have had it for 4 months and it does the same thing every day. It was on my wall in the corner but my clowns never left it alone...so it dropped down but it moves in that area.

Yes it was supposedly a bubble tip....it actually has orange on the tips of the tentacles that can be seen when inflated at night

This has tentacles with little orange speaks on the tips

What is your lighting schedule as they respond to light. Are you feeding it?
What is tank:
Temperature
Ph
Salinity ?

I feel like the rose coral has small tentacles around the outside. Did you get new LR 4 months ago? I have recently and found this anemone. Does it kinda look like this up close?

Following for science

My vote is a bleached Rose BTA also. As far as white corals though very uncommon there are naturally occuring specimans that don't have coloration.

White but not bleached: photophysiological evidence from white Montastraea cavernosa reveals potential overestimation of coral bleaching

Climate change and other types of environmental stress are known to increase corals’ vulnerability to bleaching, a process whereby colonies lose their colour either due to the loss of photosynthetic symbionts or their pigments. Although bleaching

The tentacles look like picture D and are entirely translucent with a little orange on the tips of the translucent tentacles

Looks like a very bleached/unhealthy bubble tip anemone. I Would answer some of those questions so you can get help

that’s a ball anemone. They are harmless

 

[Droberts0724]

Not sure just know it opens fully at night but not very much during the day. It seems to hate light!
