Pink bubble tip?

Do BTA's come in pink? I bought this and I am afraid its bleached heavily. Or do they just come in pink?

With my experience it will turn a greenish/brown color with time. just keep feeding it and with proper lighting it should come back to normal.

I have 2 of the so called bleach anemones with hot pink tenicals . and next to my 3 other rbta and 1 gbta with light pink tips they look like they are a little different . so im going to say that these are just harder to find .. I bought 1 in Michigan and 1 in Florida, they look the same .. The one in Mich was in a LFS for 4 or 5 years with no change befor they sold it to me . the one in the pix above could be bleached or may gain color with tlc .. imo

Gotcha, I have been feeding him everyday. He was soaking up the sun, but now he's crawled under the rock. I am sure he will probably move tonight.

GSMguy, thanks I like them alot! It's nice to only live 30 mins from Rod!
