I know I am working with a sebae right now and bought it white....... the size of a quarter. I saw it like this in a LFS for a month. Brought it home, put it under 2x175 mh and 220 vho and this sucker has grown 5x in two months and is dark brown.
I tried a pink tip ( white ) under NO lighting and it died in a month. I believe they need the bacteria internally for survival.
I will post some picks tomorrow of my sebea to show you.

I have read some diver logs that talk about white anemones, something about a giant one. I have heard that the Sea Anemone or Sea Flower anemone can be white as well as the condy. I do not favor Condy anemones at all.
Normally a white anemone is a bad sign. Being bleached and/or having lost or expelled all of it's zoo. Much better to steer clear of any white anemone.

Here is a pic of Asbury's sick E.quad, as you can see it is all white as of last january. The recommondation was to feed it often for a month to see what happens. Last I heard it was turning brown and feeling better. I would like an update on it if possible.
E.Quad's should not look like this.
