I haven't seen any information on if rock flower anemones of different colors can be bred for new colors. For example, if I had a male rock flower with a blue rim and red inside, and a female rock flower with a red rim and blue inside, could the babies be fully red or fully blue? Does this logic apply to striped rock flowers, or rock flowers with different patterns?

I have several "babies" in my tank. From my best guess I have a orange center, with green tentacles, and a stark white one seem to be the breeders.

Most resemble their parents(either being all white, or ornage with green tentacles, or some variation of orange and white), and the others are some variation of the parent.

Interesting!
