Pretty sure there aren't any white anemones in the wild, that one is probably well bleached. I'd put a basket over it to keep it out of the pumps and clowns away from it, and feed it a fair bit to get some color back.

I was told that it was a sand anemone by Wai's in Calgary (the LFS it came from). It looks more like a bleached long tentacle though, any ideas on that? Also what should I be feeding him? Any particular kind of chopped up fish? I see that there is great debate on what to feed them and if, so I'd love recommendations.

It looks like its knocking on deaths door. Bleached, inverted mouth, and unwilling to attach are all bad signs. Reviving it will be difficult but not impossible. Mine was bleached white like that when I purchased it several years ago and it managed to pull through. It should accept pieces of silverside, krill or raw clam meat if its tentacles are still 'sticky'. I hope your tank is at least a few months old... judging by how white your rocks are it looks like you just set it up which is also to your disadvantage. Anemones can be pretty delicate and an immature tank isn't very suitable for them. Do you at least have some intense lighting?

Crap, so lesson learned - don't trust the LFS to sell me something healthy...I'll try and get some food for him tomorrow. Any chance I could spot feed him some mysis? That's the only meat based food I have right now. Anyone happen to know a place in Calgary where I can buy silversides?
