I really like this sunset, it's about 8" across. We have a Blue tort that I like as well. Picx aren't great but you get the idea.

We picked this up at Blue Sierra in Issaquah while they were clearancing all their corals in preperation for the remodel. This piece came on a large frag plug along with three other Acros. Was super cheap and is one of my favorite, most unique pieces, we have in our tank.

I wish I had a better pic. The core of the coral is a deep, dark purple color and at each tip around the polyps it is bright flourescent green. Looks purple with green polka-dots when viewing it in person.

One more, my favorite and only anemone. We have had it for about a year and a half, it has stayed small 2 - 3" across, and never moves around. It is growing a bit now that we have a clown that hosts in it. We have a small tank so I prefer the anemone stays small as well. I like the coloration, it is mostly white and opalescent in appearance with light rose colored tips.

I don't mean to be rude braddo, but that anemone looks bleached. What lightting do you keep it under? I'm sure when it colors back up it will be awesome.
Strange though, your SPS look fine...

Looks like a bleached anemone to me too but it is under about 450 watts of light (2x150 MH + 4x39 T5-HO) in the bottom 1/3rd of our 20" deep tank.

The Crocea clam and SPS around him seem to get plenty of light so I can't imagine it is lack of light causing the lack of coloration in the anemone.

Been this way for almost 2 years, seems happy, eats when we feed it and I really like the color vs the more common deep red.
 
That's weird. Pretty cool though. It's really nice looking btw.

These zoos are my favorite since they were the first coral i got when i got back into the hobby.
