Exactly , It is more likely bleached and someone dyed it to sell it .
I`ve seen this done with other anemones but never with BTAs before , anything is possible for a LFS to make a buck .

dyed? Do you want a picture? There is no way it is dyed. This LFS is one of the best in the county. This may just be a rare color for a BTA. It was 65 bucks.

maybe you guys think it like an elctric purple. It is more like a magenta-ish color.

it may even just be a dark purplish RBTA

LOL Ok I think I maybe able to shed some light here. Yes it prob does look dark purple'ish in color. IN fact its nothing more than your typical brown BTA, under the actinics it floureces a purple tint. I just came from a FS that has litterally 50 of them and they have a purple hue to them but they are indeed brown typical BTA's. I thought the purple you were describing was like "Barney The Purple Dinosaur" purple....

btw if the overall color looks purple, dont we say purple???? if you want to be that specific about it and everything else then maybe its brown with a tint of purple..looking more purple than brown. i have a plta but is it all purple? no, theres some brown yeah, most of the color is purple though. maybe rbta's arent really a rose color.. theyre more orange with some red. we all say the sky is blue right? theres some white, maybe a tint of orange/green, maybe some grey... but the overall color is blue isnt it? but just being black and white about things is something else

That is the store... how did you know? It is called Greenwich Aquaria. The guys that work there are phenomenal and they get some incredible livestock. Anyone within 100 miles should atleast come by for a visit. They have a 580 gallon show tank with this couch. An LPS Tank, an SPS tank, a Softy tank, a zoo and other polyp tank, and they have about 40 fish tanks. Their website is www.greenwichaquaria.com you cant buy anything online but you can see some of their stuff, the pics of the tanks are old and all the tanks are completely filled up. They have won awards and everything. Their prices are only like 15% more than online.
I cant get a pic of the anemone. All the pics i tried to get, everything just looks brown because my camera doesnt like the light from the MH, and when the PC's are on you cant see the color at all. I have a cheap little camera, i want to go get a new one.
