quick condy question

[sir_dudeguy]

Are condy anemones supposed to be sort of a cream/beige color? Or are they supposed to be white? Or is there both?

Reason i'm asking is because we got some in at my store and they're only 7 bucks, plus my discount and that is pretty cheap, so i'm gonna be getting one, but i cant decide which one. There are ones that are Really nice white w/the purple tips, and some that are more purple/cream/beige/whatever w/purple tips...they both look really good (the white actually looks cooler) but i was under the impression that a white anemone was a bleaching anem?

anyone?

Almost no anemone is naturally white, and that includes a condy. White = bleached. Sure they can be brought back to health, but IMO, isn't worth it for a condy -- since the odd of them eating a clown are about the same as them being a host. They aren't naturally hosting anemones.

Cream/beige is the natural color ( sure there are other color morphs too. )

well i got no problems if it doesnt host...that wasnt why i wanted it. My clowns already have a huge toadstool that they live in, so i could care less if they take the anem

But are the condies known to eat fish then? I just got one today since it was 5 bucks and i figure my light is plenty and the books i've read say they're "easier" for anemones... But would it eat a black ocellaris, green chromis, coral beauty, or neon goby?
