Bought these two anemones from a local reefer. He said they are green bubble tip anemones, I am just wanting to confirm this is true as these are the first anemones I have ever kept. I am also interested in hearing peoples opinions on these guys and any tips that might be helpful to keep them alive as long as possible.

How old/what size is your system? Are you keeping other corals currently? What lighting do you have? Sorry for all the questions, but they're relevant.
 
Can I see pictures? And how old/what size is your system? Are you keeping other corals currently? What lighting do you have? Sorry for all the questions, but they're relevant.
My system has been up for over a year now but do not have much in the line of corals at the moment just a few zoas and a toadstool coral. Right now my lighting situation isn't ideal but I am working on upgrading my system I have at the moment.
 
The first pic does show a muted green to the BTA but they have lost color but still appear very healthy as of now but the color can be brought back with proper lighting and after they settle maybe a light spray of Mysis in tank water.

May I ask about your lighting?

What kind of lighting is it? They are E. quadricolor but are bleached and need some TLC to get color back. Frequent feedings, stable system and good lighting.

Currently they are just white LEDs that came with the tank. I know I will need to upgrade them sooner rather then later just curious if I will be able to sustain the anemones health with what I currently have?

I highly doubt those will be sufficient, are they 3w LED's or Is it a low output fixture?
 
Those will not be able to support them, I'm sorry. How soon are you upgrading?

Pretty much as soon as something becomes available in my area that will work for my tank and is relatively affordable
