Hello all, I got this bubble tip today and it was sold to me as a rose bubble tip but it doesn’t really look like the normal rose color to me, any guesses as to what it actually is? The orange photo is with those sunglasses thing over the camera

Just looks a little stressed. In my experience they tend to become more elongated during acclimation. Eventually it will "bubble" out if it's happy.

It just seemed very dark red to me, I know the photo doesn’t show the color well but I thought most rose nems were pinkish and this looks a lot darker red to me so I wasn’t actually sure

When it becomes relaxed and happy you'll see the lighter colors.

Hoping it pulls through. The base of it seemed grey instead of white like my RBTA and the mouth on it was open when I first got it in the tank

I suggest turning off any flow that is directed at it and also trying to darken your tank, maybe even feeding it directly.

Seeing the mouth isn't always good, just means he's looking for food. Might be a good time to squirt a tad bit of food his way.

I've never acclimated one in a pot so good luck. Interested to see how it goes.
Same but I had to go somewhere and didn’t want to leave my powerheads off but I didn’t want him flying all of the place so I plopped him and came back to him opening up but the head is too big for the opening so it’s spilling out but it looks really cool tbh

Look like a rose to me. But honestly, all the fancy named varieties and even the rainbows are just variations of a rose, they were just slightly unique individuals or regional varieties that were then propagated. And a lot of the way an anemone will look depends on lighting.

It looks like a "Sherman Rose". That is my favorite, they get huge and are really red.... Great deal for 60!
