African Yellow Anemone

[Gluestick]

I saw one in the pet store, it was really big and bright. Does anyone have experience with these? I may buy one... Is it a hosting type? It had a small dark tick mark at the end of each tentacle.

"African Yellow Anemone" is a way for a LFS to "dress up" a yellow dyed H. crispa aka sebae anemone. They don't naturally exist and are less likely to live. Leave it in the shop.

Okay, thanks.
How do they dye it?? Weird.

Yeah, it sounds like a sebae. They put it in a bucket of dyed water. They can also inject the dye into the anemon. Very simple.
