Mag anemone color question

I have a treated mag anemone with cephelaxin and is gaining its color back after a week being in my dt. It started out scraggley, sickly and a *lovely* Mauvey/brown. Now healthy, 3 times the original size and getting bigger everyday, it seems to be gaining green on the tentacles, with purple tips. But not like the usual green I have seen in pictures. Is this particular green a transitional color before it turns into purple? I had a bubble tip, one time, that was sold to me as a green that ended up being red. I'll include a pic from 4 weeks ago and another from today. I know time will tell, but it's interesting to watch the changes.

This looks like very healthy, but permanent coloring. It will most likely stay those colors, although the green may get brighter.

I question the ID of this being a Mag (and I may be wrong), the tips are too pointed, Mags have blunt tips. I also see a few tentacles that are showing sings of "bubbling".

Edit: It kind of reminds me of some I had in a previous tank (minus the purple foot)

It's DEFINITELY a mag, lol. I actually have green bubble tips with pink tips in the same tank (and long tentacles and a HUGE purple haddoni.) I knew someone would question it by the pics I provided, because... Well, I would. Lol. Mags mostly have rounded tips, But on occasion some have mildly pointed tentacles. This guy was in semi rough shape when I got him, so they're still evolving. I'll include a pic of my bubbles and include a better pic of my mag. It's from a week or so ago with less coloring and he's trying to eat a fish food pellet.
