New BTA

So i recently acquired a BTA that was sold as a rose bubble tip and later came to find that it is a rainbow once under better lighting. I've had this guy for about a month now and felt the need to share a photo as this guy is now my most favorite part of my tank now. The only thing that bothers me is that it stays bubbled up throughout the day and looks plain in comparison to at night when it deflates and can show its true colors. The photo shown is a quick snap i took after lights went out and i turned them back on and caught it before it bubbled back up.

 
I had the same problem. Crazy thing is I got a another rbta from my brother that stayed bulb tipped all the time. Since adding that one in right next to my previous anemone. Now both have bulb like characteristics all day now
 
Nice pick up. I also bought an anemone as a rbta (was pinkish red) and it turned green around the base, then yellowish, and pinkish at the tips.
 
Very nice anemone, all mine are that color but i still consider them just regular rbta's. Congrats though, you should really enjoy it
 
I also bought a rbt and once home it looked just like yours... I am very sure yours and mine are not rainbow. If you put it under just blue leds it will turn red.. I thought it was dying the day after I got it then realized the lfs anemone tank was blue leds only. Also for anyone with deflated tips... try feeding it. Same thing happened with mine so I spot feed it frozen foods and it's bubbled up now. Apparently it deflates and extends trying to find food.

I've noticed this feeding/bubbling also.
