Does anyone else have a bi-color elegance?

I recently picked up this elegance from a bag sale and didn’t realize until I got home what color it was. It seems to have bi-color tentacles which I haven’t seen before. I’m not sure if they will stay this way or morph to pink tips.

I tried looking online for other examples but couldn’t find any; has anyone seen this before?

Cant tell from the picture exactly....but I think if you take a picture zoomed out. The elegancy to me loks like a coral that has lost most of its zoanthology. It will take time to get it back to health and get good color. The little bit of color I see in the tentacles is what I believe the coral needs to get back too.

Here is a zoomed out photo. So you think the tentacles will turn out to be solid yellow with yellow tips and white with pink tips?

Beautiful setup BTW. Looks great. Well zoomed out, you may be on to something. The yellow on the tentacles is what I think will mostly fill out, but it looks like there is green in the body by the mouths. So hard to say. I do still think its lost allot of the zoanthology. I think the longer you keep it. The prettier it will get.
