    I am going to go with an LTA. Red/orange column, purple tentacles and footed at the base of the rock work.

    Ok I missed that.

    Dig a depression at the base of the rock and try to reduce flow to that area.

    Unfortunately an anemone that does not foot within a day or two of introduction is a bad sign IME.

    Another option may be to return him.

    pretty crazy color of its natural. keep an eye on its mouth. though im not an anemone expert the ones i have (bta,condy, sabea) dont forcibly close up at night. infact my clowns enjoy a happy open bubbly red bed at night,
