Anenome ID Please

[nicknacs]

I just got these from a local guy and he couldn't remember the names of them. One was a rose something and the other 3 all look the same .
Rose one, its more red than the pic shows.

I got 3 of these little guys, there all about the size of the bottom of a paper coffee cup . these ones are mostly a light yellow/white with a little bit of green.

Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, I had just shut the tank lights off and it takes almost 10 mins for them to cool off before they will come back on.

heres much better pics, I would delete the first ones but don't know how. just the room lights really made them look bad.
rose something

Unknown, he called it a flower

First one is commonly called a Rose Bubble-tip (Entacmaea quadricolor).

Rock Flower Anemone Epicystis crucifer.

the rose nem still hasn't found a good spot and keeps moving all along the top rocks where i put it to start with. should i try to put it somewhere else lower and see if it stays still? or just leave it be until it finds a spot on its own?

No matter where you put it the creature will still move if it does not like the spot. Best left alone to settle in. If you can create a cave like space somewhere it the rockwork they tend to like this type of hole. Of course it still has to be comfortable with the flow and lighting available. Again best left alone to figure it out.

I got itself all the way on the bottom in the back corner wheres there little flow and almost no light. I'm guessing it just let go and floated there. I don't think its gonna stay there long, so I will wait a few days before I start messing with the rock to get it out. Its impossible for me to reach it there and its on a rock, if it where on the sand bed I might have been able to reach it by pretty much climbing in.

well the RBT moved again, this time it got itself half in the overflow . It was good and stuck, I had to take the cover off and push it back out. If they where like starfish I would have probably had two if I didn't see it tonight. I put it all the way in the front on the bottom so hopefully it finds a spot soon. I think i might try to find some kind of screen I can put behind the cover to the over flow. I just have to find something small enough so it can't get in there again and big enough so the waste can still get threw to the filter.

They are like Starfish where you can cut them in half and have two. They need to be really healthy though because they can't feed for a while after they are cut.
All of this moving around consumes a lot of energy for an Anemone. If it doesn't settle soon it may use up all of its reserve energy.

It hasn't moved since last night so I think it's gonna stay. It still looks completely healthy. And I have been feeding it daily so hopefully its good.
