Help identifying this Anemone.

LFS said it is a Rose Bubble tip. I thought they my be wrong. It looked like a Sunburst. Now that it is in my tank and under the LEDs. It looks even more like a sunburst. What does everyone think.

To even hazard a guess, I'd need a much better picture. Sunbursts have bright yellow tips. Rainbows don't.

With this picture, it's pretty hard to tell.

I will try to get a better picture with my camera instead of phone.

Most wholesale distributors don't segregate Bubble Anemones except for Bubbles and Roses. So the LFS sold it as to what it was sold to them. BUT look at the bright side you got a better deal!:smile-new: I sold "so called Sunburst and Rainbow Anemones" for years at a low price because believe it or not, they always came in as lower priced B Grade Rose Anemones.

You cannot mistake a sunburst. Some rainbows have yellow tips too. There are lots of sunbursts listed on this site by hobbyists that are actually rainbows. It is hard. Technically, sunbursts have lineage back to the original from Colorado years back.

It might not even be a rose if it was wild caught. I have one that is perfectly clear with white spots and bright red tips - it looked a lot like a rose when it was fresh from the ocean.

That's true the Sunburst had its heritage here in Colorado by an old reefer I believe his name was Patrick. Again years ago "Rose Anemones" that were not a nice red coloration by the distributors was considered a B Grade and many still do today too. I still find some very interesting colored B Grade Rose Anemones!
