Bright red RBTAs?

[yellowtruck75]

I am interested in buying a RBTA but I have noticed over the years that there are several different shades? What is the difference and how do I find a bright one that just "pops". Does it mainly have to do with the lighting, more actinics? Or is it a different kind of breed?

Its been YEARS since I have kept an anemone so I am taking it slow before I dive back in. I currently have a black occelaris and will be getting him a mate sometime soon. Is lighting the main concern with RBTAs or is it water quality? I understand that both are very important.

Thanks

Some varieties are deeper red than others. Also, under different light schemes, the same anemone can look more or less red. They are all the same species, just some are pigmented more deeply red.
And to answer your question, both light and water quality are very important, I don't think it makes sense to think of one as more or less important than the other. You have to provide both for the anemone to thrive.
