What type of Anemone is this?

Hi, I am new to Saltwater and reef. Can anyone tell me what type of Anemone is this? And what to feed it? Ty.

Corkscrew nem I believe, unclear though if it has the lines

I didn't think it was a corkscrew, doesn't have a twist to the tentacles. A few of the tentacles are bent, it got caught in a wave maker.

A bleached LTA, good luck. Could you list your main water parameters?

I'm going with a bleached LTA as well. It looks nothing at all like a corkscrew IMO.

Good water parameters and sufficient lighting and it will do just fine in a established system.

I am going with a Condy anemone, Haitian Anemone link

I would go with extremely bleached LTA also. M. doreensis. I thought Condi, but the tips are not quite right. Can you get a picture of the underside?

That is a bleached LTA, or Long Tentacle Anemone. They are typically quite hardy but after they bleach completely like this is becomes hard to keep them going. @OrionN has a wonderful procedure for caring for bleached nems, but in general you want to feed him a couple times per week and bury his foot in the sand near the base of a rock. It should attach pretty quickly afterwards.
Good luck with this! Bleached nems are difficult to recover, but if you can you'll have a great new addition to the tank!

I heard somewhere to refresh their inner algae (return color) you can feed it a snipped tentacle from another anemone to introduce the algae back into the bleached ones system.
