Ok do the Bubble Tips have a bright purple one? I had kept a LTA for over a year but lost it do to having to drop my salinity.

The clown(s) I will be going with is most likely one from the Skunk group.
 
BTAs (bubble-tip anemones) mostly come in green, although some are bright shades of pink or orange--these are called rose bubble-tip anemones, or RBTAs. Some people on the forum have them in pretty exotic colors, but I think these are relatively rare. Captive-cloned/propogated or tank-raised are best--check with your local reefing club (a lot of hobbyists with BTAs eventually have clones to trade or sell), or at Pacific East Aquaculture's site (they frequently have tank-raised green BTAs).

Can you explain this? If your salinity dropped accidentally that's one thing, but if you purposely dropped salinity and your nem died you should do some more reading on necessary anemone care before getting another one of these animals.
 
Ive never seen a bright purple one.Ive only seen color morphs or bubble tips Brown,Gold,Green,Red,Flame,Yellow and Green,thats all Ive ever seen and if I saw a purple one I would say it would be a dyed anemone 100%.
 
there are purple anemones on saltwaterfish.com and aquacon.com

They might be there, but if you are looking for a purple BTA, it will definitely be died. Some carpet nems can be purple, as well as purplish condy nems, but never a purple BTA.
 
the ones i saw onsf.com i think they were from hawii don't think they were bta at all check them out they look pretty cool
