Green bubble tip, turning red?

saltyfins · Mar 22, 2021

is it possible, for a green bubble tip, to turn red?? It truly seems that's what's happening. When I got it 6 months ago, it was a light green with bubbles. Now, 6 months later...it's turning red with red tips. Now, it's not bubbled and has 2 clowns in it. I feed it twice a week, but this am and today, I noticed it really looks red...?

Just not sure that's possible. However, I looked all over, and I cant find anything about this happening. Hoping someone has seen it happen.

Thanks for any help.

They can change color depending on what light you use and what spectrum you have them under. You most likely have a rainbow bubble tip anemone

Weird. Ok, thank You. I have it under 3 A360WE tuna blue kessils, and also do feed it Reef Roids. so I probably should research that....I got it from Petco...only because no one else had any, and my clowns were beating up my Duncan.
Thanks so much

Most likely it is coloring back up to a healthy normal color. Petco usually does not have them under the best of lights.

Different lighting, different nutrients, different food, flow, water parameters etc can all affect how your nems look. Your tank and lights are not the same as conditions where you purchased it from so a change in coloration is not surprising as it was likely lacking zooxanthele and is now coming into its true colors.
