Unknown anemone

Any body know what this is? I was thinking of putting it in my evo 13.5, which only has a pair of clowns in it, and I don’t plan on putting any other fish in.

Let me call in mr. nem

@Eagle_Steve what do you think?

It looks like an LTA. A severely bleached one, but need to see underside of disk, the column and the mouth.

If a pic of those cannot be had, take a look at the pics below to compare.

That’s definitely it

Thanks!

Can’t get much of an angle on any thing but the mouth though

If it looks like those 2, it is an LTA.

Being bleached, it will come back with stable water and good light. Wait for about 2-3 weeks to let it settle before feeding. Feeding when stressed causes more stress.

Is it hosting your clowns? Thats nice if so, typically they don't in my experience. This Nem given good parameters may tip scales size wise one day, but think it'd be pretty cool in a 13.5 for now...maybe even permanent. Big nem on its own with a couple clowns in a small tank is a good look imo. Love my LTA.

No it’s just at the fish store that I work for, but I hope my clowns will host it! I do hope to keep it as sort of a center peace for my tank without having to move it to another tank though, but of needed I do have a 29 gallon that could work for it.

Oh , well awesome then... take this one home and give it the love it needs. As Steve mentioned it will come back from the bleaching and have some nice colouration. If it hosts then thats a big win. LTA are underrated in the hobby imo.

I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns. Bought them a BTA would not go near it. Bought them a Sebae anemone wouldn't go near it. Bought them a LTA can't get them out of it. Go figure.

If you go through my posts you can find pictures of it.
