    Is it normal for them to expell zooxanthellae? Is it a sign of anything. It was pretty much like that since I've had him.

    thanks

    It's pretty common for sebaes to expell their zooxanthellae. I have never seen one for sale at an lfs that was any other color but white so they must stress out quite a lot during shipping.

    There is a yellow white morph from PI, you may be looking at one of those. It could be a fake morph as well. A bit of bleach, cyanide or copper can turn a anemone pretty colors for a bit.
