Doesnt look too bad really. As long as you have good lighting and keep the tank in good shape and feed it you should notice it color up more.

i've only had it for a day, and i bought it from *****.. i had to save him :happyfish

Like 99% of the condys for sale are badly discolored. Luckily they are a hardy anemone.

what color are healthy condys?

 

[speg]

Could be several different colors. I've seen green ones that look nice. A lot of the time condys will be a deep brown when they are healthy.

Ckehl, when I bought by Condy it was the same color as yours. Mine has really changed in appearance alot, the tips will almost look electric at times and the white/tan tentacles and body turn a brownish/red just like Speg says. I'll try to get a picture of mine now.

Mine did the same, then after 3 months he moved again. Does it appear to getting direct lighting?
