And what should I do to care for? It’s in a 35 cube with two new clowns plumbed into my main system.

Looks like a small ritteri to me?

What are all those green looking stuff you have all over your tank hairy green mushrooms?

Yep 17 years worth. Not sure what to do with them. I’m more of fish guy so they don’t really bother me.

Maybe a torch coral?

My guess is either an anemone, a torch, or a plate coral. Need a better picture to tell for sure.

A better pic would help, and I see why a riterri/mag was suggested for the color of tips, but I've seen a number of BTA's that had this too.

Really tents are not best to ID, but rather foot/base.

Petco had it labeled as a long tip. I’m pretty sure it’s not a bta. Here are some shots of my 17 year old red tipped and my 14 year old rainbow tipped.

Might be a bleach green bta most likely.

It's a long tentacle nem

LTA is very easy to ID based on the red foot and spotted veracue, but I'm also pretty sure this is BTA

It does have spots on back side but clear base colored. Maybe bleached

Should I just leave it alone or help it to a location?

Is it attached to anything? The first couple pics in the thread look like it was trying to dig, although your sand seems rather coarse.

Bta tentacles can vary,
your display btas are beautiful
If it attaches to rock then bta if it doesn’t then it’s still unknown because it could have a damaged foot etc

If it were an LTA, even bleached heavily there is still usually noticeable red at the foot, it's pretty easy to ID from foot and base.

Personally I would leave it alone, let it go where it wants, don't risk injuring foot, let it settle on it's own.

He mentions that the anemone has verrucae, which would indicate not bta. And mostly going from the nem's posture appearing closer to a stressed lta.

Lta's will in some cases attach to rocks, typically due to low lighting conditions, and not all lta's have a red base. I had a green with cream/tan base several years ago.
