It looks like a rbta. I have a couple that look just like it that have lost there zooxanthellae. I have been told that small feeding a and excellent water conditions and it may survive. If that's what it is, shame on the LFS for selling it.

Thanks, 55 gallon, marineland double bright 48 inch (white/blue), tank has been set up about a month, combined my smaller tanks into this one. Will check current water parameters when I get home. I was in lfs a few weeks ago and they still had one from that same shipment that had gone totally white. I just didn't know enough to know that they don't just color up when given some tlc. Since the algae its missing is photosynthetic, I've started opening the blinds by the tank to let the sun in. I had the heater set on 79, but turned down to 78. Feeding small meals. Not sure if I should just let it pig out or withhold because it might not be able to process much?

very bleached, I've brought them back in worse conditions, Trex was my lifeline when i started with nems. I fed mine every other day diced scallops/krill soaked in aquavitro fuel. once they got their colors back it became a 1x-2x a week feeding.. the marineland doublebright may not be strong enough to sustain the nem without regular feedings. best of luck. don't hesitate to ask for help
Are you saying there suppose to look that way?
Mine started as one large hot pink bta. It split in two. Now both pieces look exactly like those pictured. But their size is relevant to their health. As when their health improves they will grow.

no offense but in no way shape or form should they look like that in a healthy environment

The ones I have one pink like yours ones green and the others a purple and pink and they have stayed small regardless of how much they are fed and the coral has remained the same. They don't like direct light as long tentacles and rbta do. Mine are always just in the shadow of a rock. There closely related to cold water anemones.
I have a 55 gallon saltwater and that just a week ago I noticed one of my blue damsels has ich. Then a few days latter I noticed these little tanish/white worms on the inside of the tank. is this related to the ich? I am treating the tank for ich. Are the little worms ok? I have two blue damsels and two ocilarious clown fish. The fish like to eat the little worms off the sides of the tank. please help.

No offense taken but here's a pic of one that likes to come out on the left of the rock.
Gorgeous at night when the Atinics hit their tentacles.

My thoughts also. There are to many species out there and to many things that slip into LFS to say its has to be because you'll always find something you've never seen even if you've been in the hobby forever.
