I bought this anemone about a year ago as a Colorado sunburst. I never really questioned it wasn't until a local refer brought to my attention that it is possibly not a CSB. I really would appreciate it if you could help me identify my anemone and thank you so much in advance. Also, let me know if you want to see any other angle.

They have to have yellow tips. Real CSBs do have marbled foots, but so do other types of nems. The lineage is how you know. I can trace all of mine back to Ki.

The colors do not look right to me.

Yes mine has a yellow tips and I added a few more pictures to help see marbling. Also not 100% sure on linage but I just asked the seller to confirm what it is.

You could sell it as a Colorado but not at the same price as Colorado’s with Linage

In order to get 100% of the money that you can get for a CSB, you need the lineage but also need to be able to get photos that show the yellow tips and fire orange tentacles. The photos do not look right on that one, but maybe just the photo skills need to be better?

I live in Colorado, got one from the source, a few from Gonzo and a few more from hobbyists here and there when I felt like it (with lineage). I would not be able to get much even for the ones that came from Keys Island without good photos.

Ya I am a novice when it comes to photographing my corals. Without the linage what would be a fair price to set it at?
Also thank you all for helping me out! I appreciate it! :)

I’ve seen someone here on the site sell them without linage for $500.
