japanese sebae is not an actuall anemone... but your close Sebae usually refers to a Heteractus species.

and i agree that the color might not stay too long but im sure some would remain.

Remember the Colorado Son of Ra BTA they have the yellow too,

Really? Because I had a yellow haddoni carpet for 7 years. My mertens carpet had yellow tips and so does one of the BTAs I currently have.

Not much of a stretch to imagine that the yellow could extend a little further down.

I do question their lighting and/or photoshop skills. The skunk clowns on that same page are a very odd color. The pink BTA looks a bit touched up as well.
 
For a BTA to be that expensive in my book, it would have to be two things: rare and beautiful.

First, they have 2 of them, so maybe not that rare. Second, yellow, especially in this case is only a shade or two away from being brown.

At least zoas, echinos and acans are easy to keep. I would hate to see BTAs become the next big ticket item. Maybe they already have.
 
Yea, I agree phender, those skunks really seemed to have an off color.

And my Haddoni could be considered yellow, and I know it isn't dyed since I've had it for 6 + years.
 
the color you see is the real deal. i have had one for 2 years now and it stay the same color. they come in from bali once in a while. in two years in my tank, it has spit out 3 baby. the bigger i gets the color become my neon yellow. i will try to take a picture of my mother bta, it's about 13"-15" when fully open.
 
Maybe some of you should do some reading up on anemones . They are not naturally yellow and have been dyed . Just because you have had a yellow nem for a few years doesn`t mean it is not dyed . Every book, article, or web page about anemones I have read state there is no such thing as a yellow nem with exception of a very rare few that have yellowish tips .

I have also talked about this to a few reefers that have been in the hobby for many decades .

Really? So you could keep a dyed anemone alive for a few years? It would keep its color? And the new growth on it would take on the dyed color?

There are many fish that have been dyed and live for years and the color seems to stay with them also .
