Crazy unknown anemone

[brian1539]

This anemone moved in one day and ate my cleaner shrimp
what anemone is this??????
i am so sad

 

[dedragon]

looks like a bta but i havent seen one eat a healthy cleaner shrimp. check if it is a molt because i have seen them eat molts and the shrimp will hide for a bit as it hardens

its a bleached bubble tip anemone

Agreed. the white lines around the mouth are indicative of a BTA.

Definitely check to see if it was a molt, as previously mentioned. Anemones typically don't eat cleaner shrimp, unless it was dead or dying.

so it is still healthy?

It doesn’t look bad , mouth closed and eating. It currently doesn’t gain energy from light so you will have to supplement feed it until it regains color , could be why it wanted to eat the shrimp

It is not healthy. But can be easily recovered when given proper care and tank requirements

 

[D-Nak]

Agreed. Not healthy but not sick, per se. Just needs some TLC and it should be fine. You'll probably want to feed it more than a typical anemone (that doesn't need to be fed at all) for a quicker recovery, but that's not a requirement.
