no offense but you should mention to whoever buys it that this anenome is severely bleached and will take alot of TLC and alot feeding to help it along. All the zooxanthelles are gone
DRZL, When I bought the anemone I was told that this is the color it was supposed to be. I too thought the same thing, but it readily eats and has split on me. Not to say that those are definate signs of health.
Either way you may be right so if the case is bleaching, Whomever wants to try and nurse it back to better health can have it for free.
Vision, it really does look like a condy. I got this from liveaquaria.com, see below. Haitian Reef Anemone

The Haitian Reef Anemone, also known as the Pink-Tip Condy, is found near Haiti, in lagoons or on inner reefs, as individuals, or loose groups. It is never found in connected clusters. It has a red column with long, tapering, pink-tipped tentacles. The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance. Generally it likes to bury the base in the sand or into the crevice of a rock for protection.
Hi and Happy New Year to everybody, just back from holidays.
If the anemone is still available I will be glad to get it and take care of it.
I'm sure my clowns will love it.
Could come tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks
Veronique
