rumors about yellow sebae anemone????

[adam & jeanne]

I am really interested in buying a yellow sebae anemone for my 55 gallon reef. I did, however, run into a post on this bb that stated the yellow sebae anemone was in fact injected with something to make it as yellow as it is, and that it would only live for like 3-4 months. The post was made by an unregistered member so I am curious if I am getting legit info. Anybody out there that has any experience with them please let me know.
Thanks!!

Typical Sebae is white to cream color with sometimes purple tips. Photos of dyed yellow sebae anemones are in the back of Delbeek and Sprung reef aquarium books. These dyed anemones don't always die but they have a very difficult time ridding their bodies of this dye and may starve during this "purging" as the dyed tissues alter the light wavelengths absorbed.
