    I went to the LFS to get another anemone for my other maroon clown and I saw this bubble tip. I've never seen one that has these colors so I had to get it. My clown took to him within an hour.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that looks like a bleached out rose. With that being said, it may still end up being blood red.

    The store had 4 and sold them as pink bubble tips. The store is well known and the owner is my friend so I know he wouldn't sell me a bleached out anemone if he knew it. Its healthy and the tips are really bubbled out, looks cool under the actinic.

    Ill agree with the bleached a bit. Even if your friend owns the store thats still a bleached nem.
    Looks like it wont be hard to recover tho.

    there was a thread on here once about rose btas. do they really exist? mind you i have an orange one so ill believe it if they do, but im of the general idea that a pink BTA is a bleached red one no? this said it should recover if the lighting and water are good

    Yes absolutely rose btas exist. alot of people have them.
    That nem looks like the mouth and oral disc are a more whitish color while the end of the tips are pink. ill bet with the right care it will all turn red.

    I've also seen stores sell "white" sebae anemones. There's no such thing as a white photosynthetic anemone. It's not biologically possible.
