Ugh.

Shoot, just call me when you can.

Yes I have the helfrichi, purple, and red firefish in my 150 Gal that's currently still under construction. They basically eat anything that floats mostly brime shrimp, cyclopeze, crushed freeze dried plankton/krill, or crushed green marine algae. Feeding is every other day, and acclimate like normal. Hope that helps.

Can I continue to be a naysayer for just one more post? Not trying to be a huge jerk, and I could be totally wrong as I have been many times before. Anyway, I think that anemone just looks like the tips have been over-exposed to light. Our LFS had an identical rose anemone a while back that got sunburnt and got the same lighter color on the tips. It was positioned so that the base and oral disc were shaded somewhat by the rockwork however the longer tips extended into direct sunlight in the afternoons and got moderately bleached. I cetainly would want to see if it keeps/improves its color with time and gets more mottled like the Ebay pic so keep us updated.
I guess if that was the case, it could open a cottage industry for bleach-blonde anemones....just fry for a week in sunlight and turn 80.00 clones into into $400 blondies. Some guy around here was doing that with orange Montipora caps. He would bleach them out and sell them as super rare hot pink caps. $10 frag goes to $75 frag overnight.

People have been bleaching anemones for sale for years. The "beautiful white with purple tips".... bleached regular brown ones.

If it's any consolation, I had a couple of rose anemones bleach on me in the past.
Neither of them even remotely looked like this one.
Let's give it some time before we jump to conclusions.
I think it's very possible to have this color morph. Sometimes corals can be rare.

Of course: anything is possible. No one will know of the yellow trait of this animal is persistent until it starts splitting or is split, and grows. If it is bleached or dyed, over time it will revert back to it's natural state. The fact that Ray saw the "parent" of this anemone some time ago, and it looked the same as this one, is a hopeful sign

Meisen i hope your wrong and everyone is entitled to there opinions! No problem at all
I thought of the bleached aspect as well and considering my friend Ray personally saw the anemone 2 years ago leads me to think its the real deal.
Im hoping to have this anemone very long into the future so we can all know for sure. Either it is truly a different color morph or just a really expensive RBTA

The anemone split shortly afterwards and I took my half home to CT back in '07. It did not fare well for the first couple of months but then took a nice rebound.
cb747 lost his half shortly after and my half started to multiple about a year later. I had a total of about nine at one time and sold some. onegreenray got one last year from me.

Seen it in person, pictures do zero justice. Truely an awesome piece!
I look forward to when I can pick one up as well
