It's a rose BTA with the more uncommon pink morph. I saw dejavu's and I had to get one for myself. The GSM clown loves it.

I think the GSM clown may be to big for it though. Should I remove the clown?

You may want to try to keep the clown away from the anemone while the anemone settles in. I have read that the clown will stress the anemone while it is acclimating/relocating in your tank. Also don't be surprised if the anemone darkens up or even possibly fades in color. I had a pair of rose btas that almost completely bleached when I moved them from under just VHO to another tank with metal halides. They are now really bright pink :)

Not sure what the consensus is here, but dont' you all think the "pink morph" is just a bleached rose E. quad?

If the anemone is in fact bleached, you should try to feed it as soon as it will accept food. I'd try small pieces of shrimp first.

Cheers

That is what I said James...I had some that bleached when I moved them from being just under VHO to being under MH. Now they are doing fine.
