Please Id this Nem

[Cichphreak]

I got this nem on March 10th to be exact. I knew very little about picking out a good anemone at the time and this was sold to me as a Green Bubble Tip Anemone. Since then it has changed it's color, shape, and size and I've gotten a ton of different stories as to what it is. I've been told both Sebae and Green Bubble tip. So I'm completely lost. ALSO, once it found this little hole in this rock that it is in, it will not move to save it's life. Once it started to look kind of blah, kind of turning brown at the base of the tentacles, I moved the rock a bit to attempt to help it. Nothing I do will get it to move from this hole in the rock. At this point, I'm not sure where I should place it to help it recover, and I'm not sure if I should or how often I should feed it. Can someone id it and tell me how to best help it recover? pH 8.2, 0 Nitrate, 0 Nitrite, 0 Ammonia, Calc roughly 475 ish. Everything else in the tank is thriving and very happy.
First entry into the tank

Feed it twice a week and keep you water with good perams, dont mess with it much and it should color up in a month of two more

What would you recommend feeding it? I have beed doing small chunks of silversides and it seems to take them pretty well. I try target feeding it some mysis here and there but it doesn't really grab onto them.

Also, is this really a green bubble tip?

It will eat just about any kind of meat. They like pieces of table shrimp, squid, krill.....

Yea its a green bubble tip... Mysis or finely chopped shrimp are good to feed it.

Great. Thanks for the info. So it was really bleached out when I got it then? Or expelled its zooanthellae?

It was very bleached. What lighting do you have? And what size tank?

I had that light arrangement. I replaced it for a coral plus. Purple plus a 50/50 and a blue plus all ati. For some reason this lighting arrangement makes my red, yellow, and orange pop. You're lighting should be fine. Just be sure to keep your water quality up and do feedings.

I was tempted to get a purple plus. Might still do it at some point.
