    When I bought my green entacmaea quadricolor at my LFS it was very green in color as far as the tentacle tips. Now it's looking more like a rose anemone now, it just hit me last night when I was giving it a piece of krill. The trunk is still dark, the body is still rich tan color (so I'm not worried about the zooxan dieing off) and the tentacles are the typical pink color of a rose. I don't have a picture, since I'm here at work right now. I don't know if it's just due to the color of my bulb (14000K) vs my LFS bulbs (20000K in a shallow clam tank) that it looks this way or what. Has anyone else experienced color shifting on their anemones, besides bleaching and death of course. Thanks! :)

    I was given gbta like 4months ago and it has started to look more red over time. I think it has to do with the color of the bulbs because I am using more towards 10k. It is healthy as far as I know but I have seen a color change more from green to red.

    Mine looks rose now in color. The only time it looks green is when I have only my actinic03 lights on.
