Wife bought this live rock and a couple corals to liven up my tank and this anemone came on it. I’d like to know what it is ideally.
It flares out quite a bit and is probably 2x this size when it does. It’s moved quite a bit since I got new lighting. Went from just a natural daylight t8 to a t5 set up with 2 blue actinic lights and 2 10k 24 watt t5 HO bulbs. It’s eaten a piece of krill since I’ve gotten it. Any ID and feeding recommendations would be helpful.

It’s in what was supposed to be a species only mantis tank but my wife watched finding Nemo and wanted to liven up my tank SMH lol.

I just fed it a small piece of krill and it took it like a champ I’m just concerned because I think my shrimp is about to molt and having this thing die would probably kill my peacock too. I’m trying to decide whether I should get rid of it as a preventative measure if it’s to far gone or if I should try and nurse it back to health which would make my wife ecstatic and if be happy knowing I saved the life of something as well.
 
It can definitely come back to health, it's attached, and eating.
Agree small foods a couple times a week should do the trick
