Anemone ID question

[fatoldsun]

I have two very different (looking) anemones - both were described as “Rose Bubble-Tip Anemones” The darker one on the left has long tentacles and I’ve never really seen the tips bubble up. The color is pretty consistent. There are some tinges of green and purple towards the base. The area around the mouth is a little pale. The foot is a yellowish brown. I’ve had it about a year. It seems healthy. It has spawned a couple times.
The lighter one on the right is new – a couple days. As you can see (even in my lousy pic) it is MUCH different. In just the few days I’ve had it, the tips have bubbled up. It is obvious MUCH lighter in color. It’s mostly white with hot pink tentacle tips. Are either of these RBTAs? Are they both?

Both are red bubble tip anemones, or (sp?) quadricolor anemones. They dont have to bubble up, and some will never do so. The one on the right is very bleached

thanks. the bleached one is new to my tank so hopefully it will color up a bit more in a few days. I actually like the color but bleached suggests unhealthy to me and I don't want it to remain unhealthy. It ate some shrimp yesterday - i'll keep feeding it for a few days and see if it comes back

Just give the bleached one time, it will take longer than a few days.

it came from a tank with LEDs - there were a couple in the tank - they all looked the same and he said they had lightened when he switched to the LEDs but they had been in there like that for a while and had seemingly done ok. I was drawn to the brighter color and the shorter tentacles so I guess as it gets healthier (if I'm so lucky) it may look more like the existing guys I have
