If the lineage of a Colorado Sunburst Anemone cannot be verified, but it checks all the boxes can it still be called a Colorado Sunburst? Looking for Yellow Tips and a Marbled foot but seller cannot trace it back to a reputable lineage. NOTE, it is not being sold at high end Colorado Sunburst price however. So can you call it a grade "B" or just unverified?

Here is some pics:

lol…. I think lineage is pretty much gone! Between people and vendors renaming anything and everything to get top dollar it’s more of, if you like it buy it! Sang Lee had the original one but there’s tons now… same with the asd holy grail torches..

Ya I pretty much figured. Does the tips on this one look Yellow enough to be a Colorado Sunburst?
 
My question is - does it really matter? If you love a certain coral - it checks all of your boxes, do you care if it has traceable lineage to some person who named it to get maximum $s ? If you get it for less than the going rate for a certain named coral, and you really like how it looks, all the better.

i suppose that's how hobbyists could justify prices nowadays? if no lineage, then less likely to be willing to pay certain price tags compared to if they know/can source the lineage.

OP, i bought my CSBBTA from @Thirstysreef. grew suuuuper fast and was vibrant all the time. he is a very trustworthy vendor and is about the people(amazing customer support)!
