    I picked up this crazy glowing orange tube anemone this past weekend. I've been wanting a tube nem for quite some time & finally had adequate space on the sandbed for one. I've seen some purple ones before but never have seen one that flouresces like this under normal lighting.

    Here's a little vid I made with the tube in it, I just was changing around my scape so all my corals were mad:

    The pic doesn't do it justice, it's nuts. I think it's part light saber :)

    Tubes are awesome. I have a neon pink with green center feeders. Make sure you feed it once a week or more as they are NPS. Congrats!

    Thx guys, yes def have fed it some pieces of raw shrimp/scallops it gobbled them up. My LFS has never gotten one like this before, they usually have more muted purple ones, so when I saw it, I had to have it

    Just added a little vid to my first post.
