I just got four rock anemones via FedEx. They arrived an hour early which is great. They look healthy however they have lost all color. Is this normal during shipping?
 
Yes...they are stressed out
 
No. Rock nems are very hardy and they generally arrive in full or close to full color.

Rock Flowers are brownish and transparent in white light. To get amazing colors from RFA, you'll need to make sure you run a good amount of blue light.

Not really.
My RFAS look great in White light.
 
Once I put them in the tank their colors popped. I just posted a thread with pics.

Some colors are indeed visible in 6500k. However, the op stated color loss which isn't very normal for rfas. It's common for folks with 6500k ish lighting systems to buy rfas taken in 14,000k. When they arrive they think they've been Duped, lol.

Good point!
 
I defiantly am very happy with my purchase from kush coral. They are gorgeous and nice sized. I do not feel duped. This is a pic of them 15 minutes after putting them in.
