So at Petco they gave me a free anemone. They said she was angry and “didn’t like the light” I say she’s a standard/wildtype BTA that’s bleached bc she hasn’t had proper lighting. Here’s a photo of her in store:

She was on the rock about three days before. She is now obviously upside down but tentacles are very round. This is her in my aquarium now:

What do you guys think? Has anybody seen BTAs in this color? Or does anyone think it’s something else? I’ll also document what I do in this thread as far as trying to recover it in case it does come around maybe the thread will help others
 
It’s a regular green bubble tip that are very common. It is slightly bleached though
