Bleached or Dyed?

I had a yellow haddoni for a long time (7 years) before I sold it. As it acclimated to my tank and regained its zooxanthellae it became more of a mustard color. It never became green or lost its definite yellow colored tips. Good luck on your purchase. Hopefully the problem with the mouth is just related to it being recently moved and not any health problem.

Unfortunately, I had mine in the late 1980's - early 90's before I had a digital camera. I know I had some slides for a magazine article, but I don't think I had any photos.
 
Soooo...how about neither bleached nor dyed. Let's try photoshopped.

Ummmmm...it's just a green Haddoni. The mouth isn't even the same color as the pic. I wouldn't even call it slightly misleading, more like totally different animal. I'll post some pics after acclimation. Still a good green, but not exactly yellow. At all.

Are you serious ?

The new is TOTALLY yellow on the picture...
 
Man that sucks. If it's definitely not as pictured, I would ask for some money back. That's a lot of money to pay for a green haddoni, in my opinion.
 
Here are a few cellphone pics. I'll take some better ones later <<<facepalm>>.

I already sent an e-mail with pics asking if they sent me the wrong nem. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt for a few second...lol

Maybe a yellow-ish tinge? Maybe?? lol

AND...the vendor's pic.
 
That sucks.

Hope that it acclimates well, and doesn't have any infections -- risky move putting it in the display tank with an existing S. haddoni.
 
It can't be, unless they just completely changed the color in photoshop. I already sent an e-mail with pictures. I'd be interested to see if they try and blame it on lighting or something, lol.
 
Here is his response. I told him I would wait until it's fully open and get back to him. Seriously????

"No it is the correct one, I only had one left in stock, it looked indentical to photo under my lights. Allow it to settle in, it is not a dyed anemone the base is not miscolored, it need to open up. Scott"
 
It's not same color. It's completely different. The mouth is red in the vendor pic ferdogssake, and green in the nem I got.
 
Ouch.. Id be pretty darn upset with this as it isn't even close to what was originally pictured. Seems like a scam to me
 
You can Photoshopped this picture and change it to yellow easy enough. Highly fraught IMO. Load up Photoshop and adjust the Hue and you can get a yellow anemone with reddish mouth. Almost identical to the one you got that can be account for by different light.
"Extreme Photoshopped Coral" is not going to get any of my money. Sorry about your experience.
