Hi,

Today at petco I found this anemone marked as a sebea. I’ve never seen one with a yellow foot before and to make it even weirder some of the tentacles have a very distinctive purple hue to them. I took a closer look and it seems to be in a pattern of sort. I thought sebea only comes in white? I saw a couple pics online where it shows a completely purple one. Is this one just bleached?

Does anyone have some that are similar to this? Would love to see how it looks like when it’s happy/grown.

Looks like a totally normal bleached Heteractis crispa to me. The faint purple is probably just part of it that isn't bleached - white with purple tips is a 'classic' look for them in my mind, but really only because they get sold in tanks not capable of sustaining photosynthetic organisms, so this won't be its natural, healthy color.
