Well I got a quarter sized bubble tip anem. for $10 and placed it in my tank. Now after having it for about 3 weeks it's larger and is more orange than rose colored. Then tonight it was deflated and I can see the tenticals are green at the bottom then go to orange. It also has some white speckles on the bubbles when inflated. I got some really bad pics of it .

OMGosh, that is sooooo tiny! So cute!

You need to feed that little thing. Help it to grow up! LOL!
 
It's about the size of a quarter or just a bit bigger when inflated. Every night about the same time it deflates and opens it;s mouth. Then the next day looks good again, All bubbled up. I think it's going to be sweet.
 
It sounds like a rainbow. You may not know for sure till it gets bigger. I had some weird coloring issues with small bta's. But it sounds like one:)
 
Not to be a Debbie Downer......

But that looks an awful lot like a Majano type anemone......

It could just be the pictures you posted....

Ahh...much better picture.
I agree, NOT a Majano anemone.

Sorry for the confusion.

Looks pretty rose-y to me but time will tell as it continues to grow. Either way, it's a nice looking 'nem!
 
Well heres an update on the RBTA , it's not a rainbow, but has white specs on it. So I got a pic but the colors suck . I need to get a camera.

Very nice RBTA :). I love some of the colors that come out in them. Mine has white and blue veins running though the base and white flecks on the tenticals. So much variety out there.
