It is not very happy at the moment but it should come around. They like good flow to be able to shed and not a ton of light when they first are getting used to the tank.

Good rule of thumb if it is on a plug it is not an anemone.

Thanks yall helped alot. It comes out most days but sometimes doesnt. but I definitely have it too close to the light. We thought it likes the light more lol.

FWIW, these corals do this unhappy thing often. Don’t worry about it. Sometimes they do it for a week or two. Sometimes they wilt, but they’ll come around again.

Out of curiosity what the coral is sitting on is that part of the plug haven't seen one w a tube like that.R
