What type of anemone is this?

[tinctorus]

Hey guy's I just started working at a new LFS and we just got this anemone in and it wasnt listed on the invoice but it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
In my 16 years being in and working in this hobby I have never seen an anemone like this, I want to purchase it but I wont until I know more about it and what it requires for care, lighting, etc etc

Hey Kevin,
Thats a japanese deepwater nem, and its been dyed. It's beautiful but I would not buy it. If it survives, the dye will eventually be expelled.

I'm pretty sure it's a cold water of some sort, do you know where is was brought in from?

Sorry I forgot to mention that isnt my photo, I believe it is the name of the guy who takes photots for our store for our facebook page and our email flyer

From what I was told the owner called the distributor and they have had it for almost a year and they told him it was not dyed and was infact collected being that color, They didnt know a whole lot of info on the anemone other than the color it is and they were keeping it in a atank with other anemones with a temperature of 78-79 degrees and said that it actually split for them once already

we got it for free since they shipped it to us on accident so I know I will get a fair price on it but I wont buy it if it is something very difficult to keep like some anemones can be, Right now we are keeping it in our coral system and it is doing very good, it's opened up as large as it can and is eating mysis
shrimp

I hope someone knows a little more about this guy because that picture almost doesnt do it justice as when you look at it it's the most intense yellow I have ever seen, Not yellow like the dyed sebae anemones, this thing is yellow like staring into the sun LOL
