I had both (green longer). I’ll afmit I only recently started having very stable parameters, but I noticed the red is growing and flourishing, while the green either was either bought, or became bleached (can’t remember), walking around a lot, and did not grow. I’m pretty sure it died now after it’s been deflated on and off, and not looking so good. It accepted feedings.

I’ve noticed seeing more pictures of healthy big RBTA online, and most of the GBTA are small and kinda bleached looking.
 
Based solely on my personal observation of helping out in threads over the years, the reds for whatever reason seem to be more hardy then the greens. I have no explanation as to who, what, where how, or why. That's simply been my observation in dealing with probably hundreds of nems threads at this point.
 
The green one split last night. It sulked for a while, and disappeared, then came back as two. It’s small, and it was bleached from before, but not severe. The anemone hosts a tomato clown, and I don’t think that’s helping the situation. I have a skimmer, filter socks, and I do a 50% water change every month. I feed the tank 2 cubes of mysis. I have 4 Ai hydra 52 LED’s for my 200 gallon tank.

I also have a rose bubble tip which had its own tomato clown that looks good (pictures attached), but it did split last month.
