You should open your own thread as it is a different topic.

I guess the fact that more people didn't immediately know what this was means we are doing a better job of keeping and transferring BTAs.
As Dave has said several times, this is a common rose BTA that has bleached for one reason or another. Water temps above 84 degrees is a common reason, as is lack of proper light.
I hope your LFS owner thinks he just got a rare anemone by mistake or luck and didn't pay more than normal RBTA wholesale price for it.

I can't remember where it came from either a maintenance account in Miami or a wholesaler down there, as he had some nems. He's been in the business about 15 years and had a shop previously also worked with the guys that run wwc. I would think he knows a bleached bta from a rare nem... also passing up a $600 offer for a bleached bta is pretty dumb lol
At any rate I'll keep watching it and perhaps he will let me go see an underwater pic with my phone.

That is a bleached Rose BTA. It look florescent because of the violet and near ultraviolet light from the LED strip, nothing more. The whiter the color, the brighter it looks.
Dave, Phil and I each have 30+ years each of marine aquarium. We each had at least 20 years of keeping anemone each. We all have keep much harder anemone than BTA too. That is as bleached BTA anemone. Look at him in normal light and he will not look like anything special (other than bleached)
One way of bring up the price of something is to say that an high price was offered for it.
If you don't believe us, just go ahead and buy him at 600.00. It is your money to burn.
