Please help identify this anemone.

hi all reefers, please help me to identify this anemone as well as its feeding habits, bought it last month from CF along with a Green bubble tip (if I've identified it correctly). My Green bubble tip quickly grabs and consumes any raw food like a piece of prawn that i drop onto its tentacles, but the other white one seldom feeds and always gets the piece of prawn taken away by my cleaner shrimp(greedy fella man!). I would appreciate any comments or tips whether i'm rearing them correctly. Thanks.

i have similar experience with the white anemone...i have problem feeding it with meaty foods also. Eventually it start to shrink and i have to throw it away.

Could be one of those deep water anemone...not too sure...i think the experts here can tell u.

i've only managed to have it feed on a small piece of prawn once, it sure took a long time to close up (hopefully to consume the prawn) and then when it opened again the prawn wasn't there so i'd think that it did consume the prawn, so much diff with my other green anemone!

Experts your views on this please if you don't mind, appreciate your help.

I think either a heteractis crispa or a heteractis malu. Feed it 2-3 times weekly with prawns or silver sides small enough for it's mouth. If food is too big, it'll regurgitate the undigested part and foul up your tank. With proper feeding, it will return to it's natural brownish color. Feed the shrimp it's fair share then it'll not bother your anemone.

I had a specimen before selling it off as it outgrew my tank.
