Hi!

Hoping to get some help if I need to move one of these anemomes or not. The one on the left just moved there today and the one on the right has been there for over a year. I know the one on the right is a bubble tip but I'm unsure what the one on the left is to lookup if they can touch or not on some of the compatibility charts. The one on the left moved near it and they both shriveled some but I wasn't sure if this was just from the one moving and rolling over the other before he (hopefully planted as he's been floating for a few months). Can anyone help provide some advice on this?

I think they are both BTA. If your get a clear picture of the mouth, I can tell if an anemone is a BTA or not 100%of the time
Do these help? He lost his red foot at some point while trying to plant. He's been floating around since mid-June.

Are all three pictures of the same anemone? If they are, then it is a M. doreensis, just the last two pictures are of a very stressed M. doreensis.

If they are not the same anemones, then:
This is a M. doreensis

This is likely an E. quadricolor

Likely a H. malu

They are all the same anemome. He got onto the powerhead once but didn't get sucked in and he's been floating around the tank for over 4 months so I expect him to be stressed. I've tried various things to get him to stick but I've had no success. If he is a doreensis is he safe to be next to the bubble tip like that? Also any suggestions on how to help him?
 
I would put him on fine sand and put a concave piece of rock on top of his foot. He will attach to the rock and dig into the sand. They cannot dig into the sand unless they attach to something for leverage
Feed him food 1/8 inches size every few days and he should recover and grow fast for you.
That is how I get ly tiny M doreensis to attached. This one is aboutt 1 in

So put the rock on his foot? Also is caribsea special grade sand fine enough? That's what i use in my tank.
