When I look up pics of these two anemones they look the same sometimes. What is the difference if anything? Looking into getting one but just not sure which one yet. I want a black widow or a Colorado sunburst. But I was seeing the Sherman’s too and just curious as to why they look so similar. Thanks for an any responses.
 
BW will have bright white webbing pattern on the oral disc that is absent on Shermans.
 
Black widows seem to have more white webbing where a sherman rose is a solid black in thr middle. This is my sherman rose.
