    from what i know bubble tips (Entacmaea quadricolor) dont have colored foots, my guess is some sort of condy in relatively decent health (i think it looks a little bleached)

    Looks like it was a Green bubble tip anemone that has bleached out. I would not buy it personally.

    Looks unhealthy to me. I wouldn't exchange any of your corals for it personally.

    It's clearly bleached. While that's recoverable it also makes it all the more sensitive when transitioning into a new system.

    Pass, IMO.
