Yea unfortunately the condy was 12 or 20 dollars last time I went to Petco the picture at Petco of the tag is an LTA but what you have is a Condy. Also LTAs (Long tentacle anemones) bury their foots in sand while yours is in the rock work.

Thats a condy anemone and takes several days to fully adjust to tank.
Should be about $18 and hopefully you acclimated it properly to tank. These are ones you can’t plop and drop into tank

The clowns may or may not dive into this anemone. They’re generally more ornamental in a reef system

Yeah thanks the anemone it looking better ... now i am worried because i have 2 clownfish and i read they can kill clown?
