So a few months ago I picked up a Condy anemone at petco, when I got it it was all white with a bright purple tip on each one of its arms pretty much text book picture of a condy anemone, when I first got it it was small and didn't seem really healthy I chalked it up to stress and petco not really knowing how to care for and feed their animals. after a few weeks in my tank the anemone started thriving and growing and found a nice spot to settle in my tank. recently the Condy has gotten the most vibrant colors in hues of green and blue, it looks amazing how ever I haven't seen any pictures of condys with similar coloration. I know its healthy but im curious if it is normal for them to change colors because its really a beautiful anemone

That's what I assume as well, it was just odd that the pictures on the Internet and the one on the ID tag at petco showed it as a mainly white or pale colored anemone but I wouldn't put it past petco to use a picture of a stressed out anemone so they can pass the ones they have as normal and healthy
I just picked up a purple condy; making a tank of different types of nems. I have not seen that type of coloration before but again I have not seen all of them. Do you have a picture of the nem maybe it was missed labeled at petco?
I saw them at the PetCo by me but they called them Long tentacle nems, white with purple tips.
That being said here is a pic of it on the web.

Any one ever herd of a curly sue anemone ? Also herd them called cork screws they have beautiful long flowing tentecals that's are very thin I saw one at petco for 11.49 it was really neat I thought about getting it but I need to do some researchy thinking is with tentacles that long it's a fish catcher similar to a upside down jelly fish
On a scale of 1 to 10 1 being easy care and peaceful and 10 being anemone that requires specialized care and will go on a killing spree in your tank were do they fall?
