Looks about right. You can see the green in the tips and the base is the right color.

Give it a few weeks to acclimate to your light and conditions.

Also try looking at your tank from the top, you'll be surprised how different the corals look.

I think anemones can look completely diff in picture than in person because of the surface area and amount of light during photo. Enhancing is nice to see but purchasing is another concern. what happens on eBay is criminal

Coral/anemone color is not just an issue with the light and camera, but also an issue with the coral itself. In my experience corals and anemones adapt to their environment. Very often that means that they end up browning out over time.
I had that happen quite often.
Simply for that reason I don't really give too much about the color at the time of purchase and definitely would not pay any premium for coloration.

I agree that corals will adapt their color to lighting and water chemistry, my green LTA started brown, it actually vanished into my rockwork for 3 months, crawled out shrunken and brown, then gradually developed green through out.

Just after it reappeared.


A year later, much healthier and more colorful.
