I’ve currently got two anemones, rose bubble tip and a Colorado sunburst what other anemone could I mix with these? I was thinking maybe a Condylactis gigantea… would something like that work?

I would recommend pumping the brakes on any others. Tank seems very new and anemone don't do well in these cases.

Tank is about 8 months old, just added new rocks as it looked a little plain..
Shouldn't have issues adding condy. Most of the issues you see are with color variations of BTA for some reason.

Newbie here. I've had a bubble tip for about 6 weeks and everything was great. We added another bubble tip (different color) and the OG anemone has closed up and moved locations a bit. It's been like this for about a week now. Is there anything I can do to help it feel less sad/threatened about the new guy (assuming that's what is going on)? I will also check my phosphate levels but if those are good, what else should I do?

CSBs have a bad track record when mixed with other BTAs, particularly rainbows and other red morphs like Black Widows. Keep an eye on it, and if it starts to decline in health, consider getting rid of one of the BTAs.

Oddly enough, BTAs seem to do well with other anemone species. I've mixed mine with Ritteri (H. magnifica) and various carpets in different color morphs (S. gigantea, S. haddoni, and S. mertensii) without any issues.
