Anemone Question

[irfisher]

I think this is a sebae. It was white with purple tips. Now the purple seems to be spreading down the tentacles. Just what to know if this is normal and if my ID is correct.
Thanks

Correct, it is a H. crispa and it seems a bleached. It may turn out to be entirely purple if it recovers from the bleaching event.

It's nice, still a little bleached but should color up nicely. I don't know what some refer to as purple but i doubt the tentacles will be bright purple. Maybe a taupe kind of lavender flesh tone but not bright purple, although some will give off a purple cast to the tan tentacle which is nice too. Please post follow up's for us. I'm always curious about how some of the ones i come across at the LFS's color up and don't see the locals posting much if anything about anemones.

OK thanks for the input. I have had this anemone for two months. It was white with purple tips, I thought that was how it was supposed to look. I guess that was bleached.
The anemone is now changing colors. Most of the white is gone with a little still near the center of the anemone. Most of the outer tentacles have changed color to a light tan color with purple spreading down from the tips. I am guessing this is how it should look. I was thinking something in the tank was making it change color, but maybe is is just getting healthier.
Thanks

Cool, looks a bit similar to my crispa.
This shows purple tips

And overall color
