I know sorry it so blue. The video is the anemone moving.It is common for some to move a lot.
Very blue picture. I dont know what you are trying to show us.
Thank you! I ret dizzy just watching it. Haha
I think he means BTA, though it does not look like a BTA to me. Hard to say with so much blue light.It’s normal for anemones to move around until they find a place to settle, even then they still spontaneously decide to move sometimes.
They lack brains, memory and pattern recognition so you can assume that it doesn’t even realise it is travelling in circles around the same rock haha.
As long as it looks healthy and isn’t gaping it should be fine
My bad, I assume like the first commenter I can only see a still image which has heavy blue light in it, not a video. The media must be in a format not supported on iPhone.Ok that anemone is not attached. If so that is not normal no matter what other say and is horrible advice.
I am guessing people did not even look at the video.
Also what is a BTE? I cant tell from the video what that is . To me it looks like possible a LTA.
If it is a LTA it needs a deep sandbed and buries it foot in the sand.
A anemone will detach if it does not like the conditions and try to drift to a new spot. Dangerous because it can get into a power head.
Also can detach because the foot is damaged. Sometimes they detach because they are stressed and to weak to hold on.
If we can figure out what kind of anemone it is we can help better. For example a LTA you can dig a hole in the sandbed. If it is not a lta you may have to place it on a rock and turn down the flow till it attaches.
Thank you for the heads up. I was told its a bubble tip.heres a clear pic. It was holding on and then couple days ago ot started to go around and around. Its still healthy. Eating and all. The stump looks intact and not damaged.Ok that anemone is not attached. If so that is not normal no matter what other say and is horrible advice.

That’s not a BTA or LTA. It’s a very bleached condy anemone, which means it’s unhealthy
You were told wrong. It’s a condy. Any more information on your tank so we can help ?I was told it was BTA
Tank is 7m old or older. Water parameters are all in range. Temp is 77. The only thing I can think of is the water flow.i will turn it down. The anemone has purple tip. lighting i do blue light all night and most of day. Reg blue and white for 2hrs and another 2hrs offYea still hard to tell but it does look like a Cody in the pic above.
I also agree it looks bleached but pictures can be deceiving.
Fact that it still has the strength to eat is a good sign. it means it still has the strength to produce nematocysts.
It should be on a rock. So turn off the flow and see if it will attach to a rock.
Still a reason it detached and needs to be found out.
Is the tank new?
High nitrates?
Lighting.
What are all your parameters and what lighting do you have ?Tank is 7m old or older. Water parameters are all in range. Temp is 77.

Ur right i just looked it up. Looks just like that.You were told wrong. It’s a condy. Any more information on your tank so we can help ?
Not at home now. But lastnight..nitrates and nitrites are 0. The test were all in range. The lighting is a beamswork.What are all your parameters and what lighting do you have ?
Really? Ok any recommendations? I have a 50gBeamswork lights I have on my fresh water tank and is not enough for a nem.
