Show me your "one in a million" anemone!

Phil- Can you share a photo of your beautiful crispa as it looked when you purchased it?
Did it look like the typical white with tiny blue tips or did it have something special about it that caught your eye?
 
Phils is much more purple than mine, but to add a comment to that question towards him mine was exactly like the single pic 2nd down from top at purchase, and mine did heal and become the more common beige w/ purple tips.
Mine also grew from about 4" in diameter to a solid 2 feet.
 
So your nem started out looking like something really different but eventually turned out to be a nice, but somewhat regularly colored, specimen?
 
Yeah, I have pics, mine was very white/yellow w/ bright blue tips, got him from Petco long before this site and long before I knew any better.
Later I think people on here kinda knew me for having "that huge monster sebae" as many would put it.
It certainly wasn't 1 in a million for it's color, but it's size was impressive.
That and a LTA/doreensis took up most all of a 90g leaving very little room for corals(my LTA was 18")

I was going through my pics and forgot I did have one nem that was possibly my one in a million, or rather 2 in a million like Phils because I have seen one of these once aside from mine.
This was my pink LTA/doreensis, along w/ my picasso's baby pics.

My sebae was pretty much that color when I bought it, which is why I bought it.:) I had another as well but sold it because it got too big.

I forgot about my best ever anemone. I bought it thinking it was a small purple gigantea.

After I got it home and it relaxed I realize that it was most likely a haddoni. After a couple more days of getting relaxed I noticed that it wasn't just purple, it was bright green with purple tips.

Alas, like many very small anemones, it disappeared behind the rocks one day and try as might, I couldn't find it. For a long time I hoped that it would reappear, but that day never came.
 
Here is my favorite BTA in my tank. When I bought it it looked mustard brown because it was in a tank with a busted heater and chemical warfare was happening with a corn anemone. He called it a tri-color. But what color morf I am not sure. Anyway several months later here is what it looks like. I have a crappy Iphone camera so I played with the colors until it looked like what I see. Its a side view(once again because I cant get a decent shot at the front with my camera) So you cant see all the white striations radiating out from the mouth. But it looks like it has a spotlight on it compared to the other BTA's.
 
This is probably my favorite anemone photo so far:

Additionally, this adhaesivum is pretty colorful (albeit stressed):
