Carpet anemone ID

[Quas111]

Can someone please help ID this anemone? Thanks!

Oh and a few things about it:

Its non-photosynthetic(it hides in the darkest corner of my tank)

It filter feeds(It is growing and hasn't eaten any fish from the tank YET)

The tentacles at its edges are longer than its center and they are green(Florescent ), compared to the center pink.

It is photosynthetic, it does not filter feed and it is bleached..

It has been there for more then a month now and it is growing in size (it's approximately 6 times it's original extended size now) so I don't see how it's bleached

Oh and another thing to note: it supposedly came from Indonesia. Idk if that would help with the ID though

@Terryz_ if it doesn't filter feed then what is it consuming? Should I stop dosing the tank with phytoplankton then?(it's the only non fish in the tank)

Update: after some investigation, I'm quite sure it's a maxi mini carpet anemone

mine looks similar, i feed with mp. yes it doesnt like to see light always hiding in cracks and cave. wat my mum did was to put him in a glass bottle with opening for water to circulate. The pic shows the fellow eating a mp

Oh interesting but I can't feed my carpet anemone market prawns cause they'll dirty the water very fast. The tank is small so the dirty water would not dilute. I have noticed it grabbing onto frozen mysis shrimp during feeding time too. Maybe that's how it grew so much?

Maxi Mini carpet anemone - Stichodactyla tapetum

Photosynthetic but will benefit from periodic feeding of seafood fare.

Both of your specimens are bleached - the second one severely.

Any idea how to get it back to proper conditions? I'm gonna transfer it to a larger tank by December so I don't want it to be unhealthy when I transfer it over :/

i know, but so far it has been with us for 1 yr..we really dunno how to not unbleach it...they tend not to like too much light

What is the lighting are you guys using?

hi Terry, sorry for the late reply! I'm using some cheap unbranded china LEDs. The box cover said that the light temperature is 12k and that it's suitable for marine fish. I know it's not the best for photosynthetic life but I don't plan to upgrade this tank as I'm gonna decomm it and set up a new tank soon!

Oh and another thing. The anemone moved again and now it's in a bright spot so I guess it's becoming photosynthetic again

[liquidnoise]

mine dun seem to like the light too much...

It would probably move towards light like mine once it's zooxanthelle grow back
