I got these two Anemones from Pieces of the Ocean. They've been in the tank for about a week, attached to these spots where I dropped them very fast, wedged between rocks. They open. But the Rock Flower Anemone has some tips that are white, which is bleaching?? It's not debris, I've tried to blow it off with a baster. And there are white spots on the bubble tip. (It was sold as a Flower Anemone, but is it? It kind of looks like a bubble tip, no???) In any case, they are close to the top of the tank, so very close to the light, which is running at 50% as of today. (I've been raising the levels every couple of days and was going to stop at 50%.) Any ideas what these are?

I'm including a shot of the complete tank to show you their placement.

Rock flowers can have a few white tentacles, looks normal to me

That's a relief!!!

Any idea if the anemone with the bubbles is an actual rock flower or a bubble? I emailed Pieces of the Ocean to confirm. It hasn't moved since I placed it into the tank.

That one is a bubble tip.
