Do S. Haddoni Anemones "color up"

[sid700]

Saw a couple in a LFS. I'm wondering if they color up. They look healthy enough, but the colors are muted/dull.

 

[Reef1589]

yes they color up to the actual color, if they are kind of white ...

but i have seen dull green's... olive green, Tan's... ... ... which will be the color it would color up to.. a dull green will not go to a flourescent green over time...

Yep what reef said... most likely its a dull or olive green.. If the price is around $50, thats probably the color its going to be.

I noticed you're in Oakland. Which LFS did you see the haddoni? I'm not in the market for one, but always curious to know which stores get anemones in.

It WAS in my 58, and I had had it for about 4 years before I lost it. Long story short, it never fully recovered when the main pump failed when I was in the hospital for emergency surgery; it stress spawned right after that. An attempt at using a bio-active salt finally pushed it over the edge.
