does this look dyed to you? i have never seen this color

[Aerowen]

i would like to add a nem to my tank and i was looking into either a gig or a carpet, but with intense colors and i ran across this one:

 

[MarinaP]

either yellow dye or/and former green gigantea that lost most of zooxanthellea.

looks kinda photo shopped to me

 

[pleasants9]

my money is on photoshopped

 

[Peter Eichler]

Looks like a typical dye job

 

[NirvanaFan]

It looks dyed to me.

I think it is partly bleached. Probably green.

[kellon16]

how does one dye an anemone? that just sounds like a good way to kill one

 

[BonsaiNut]

Not dyed - just totally bleached. There ARE yellow giganteas out there - but with zooxanthellae they don't look this bright.

k thanks, don't want to risk buying an unhealthy nem.

Here's another pic...

 

[Aerowen]

the vendor states that this is the natural color. I have bougth from them before and the are reputable.
Bonsai- is that your nem?

That second pic, id say looks real, but the first one id say is fake, look at that yellow glare that it gave to the rock with purple coraline directly above it, i doubt it did that..

I've got one last year, neon yellow, I cannot determine if it is dyed or bleached from green. It lived for 9 months and kept the same colour through out.

regardless of it being photoshop or dyed, it looks very nice.

Those have to be the meanest looking clowns I have ever seen! That Momma looks as if she could do some real damage :uzi:

Dyed anemones keep the same uniform color throughout. In the case of this individual, it is clearly just the tips of the tentacles that are colored. Yellow giganteas are not the rare... but I have only heard of one case where someone has brought it back from being completely bleached to healthy again.
