Bought this anemone from LFS as a “bubble anemone” how many different types are there and which one is this. Obviously it’s not the green bubble anemone lol

Under that light it looks like a rose tip

I really hope it is. From what I see it’s expensive online

It’s a rose bubble tip. All bubble tips are the same species, whether green, rose, rainbow, or Colorado sunburst, they’re all Entacmaea quadricolor. Don’t let absurd online prices fool you, these can easily be found for $20-$50 from other hobbyists depending on color and area (I picked up a rainbow fairly recently for $25), in a store I wouldn’t pay more than $75.
