Does anyone own a rainbow bubble tip anemone?

Rainbow's are typically; green, orange, red, and some yellow. I have one that actually turned into a rainbow after a few months.
 
I've got 3. I've seen them called "Sunburst Anenomes".

Unfortunately I'm nursing them all back to health. When I first got them they were doing great in cages..finally I cleared off some space made an island and added them to my display..they slowly started to deteriorate, and I just COULD NOT wrap my head around why.. finally (about a week ago) I got fed up and put them back in the cages and poof they are coming back around. Turns out they are very finicky about flow, and are not happy in my medium-high flow sps tank.

I'll probably be getting rid of all 3 once I get them back to 100% health. As nice as they are.. and they are by far the most amazing nems I've seen/owned.. They don't do me any good if they have to live in a basket/cage vs my display. ...I'm guessing it will be at least a month out for recovery if I'm lucky enough to keep them eating.

I have heard of sunburst;s out of colorado. Seems to be a cross between a flame tip and a speckled RBTA. Very nice, big nipples. Rainbows are three colors/shades. Tend to be more of a camelelion color with diff light. With T-5 (14K) mine was orange to red to green tint mouth with yellow on the tips. Since changing over to LED (18K), All yellow tenacles with orange base with slight green tint.
 
Here is a horrible cellphone pic of mine, ill take a better pic with my canon and post it soon. It is red to green tentacles, purple base, with some white speckles.

I have rainbow BTA clones. They're not in super-saturated color like the vendors' pics would have you believe, but they're beautiful all the same. You can see one of them in my avatar, along with my female cinnamon clown. I just wish they would split again--I promised a clone to a friend of mine, and she's getting impatient! :p
 
I bought this one labled rose bta but its not very "rose colored" its pink and green with neon pink tips ..under daylights

...the pics are only taken with cell camera the colors pop quite a bit more in person but you get the idea. I have a bunch of sps, zoas, palys, softies, and some rics and the nem is ALWAYS the attention getter whenever someone is over and sees the tank. its prob my favorite too :-)

When I got it a few weeks ago, it was really brown. Now it had turned into an orange/peach hue with a hint of green in the base. I think it would turned into one of those two toned BTA. But to call it "rainbow" is exaggerating.

My rainbow I've had for 6months now

The people saying that these are photo shopped or used special camera settings have never seen them its ignorant to claim they dont look like this as i have one that is as spectacular as any of these pictures if not brighter and i paid 79.99 for it.
