Anemones and Lighting

[Shawn]

So - in y'alls experience, do your anemones change color over time because of different lighting? I feel as though my inferno is starting to look more like a RBTA. Just curious. I'm not really worried about it - it still looks awesome. But have any of you had a similar experience?

Yes, my BTAs have all changed color over time. I cannot day for certain that it is because of lighting, but I’m sure that has an influence. However, after one of my nems split 3-ways, one of the three changed color (under the same lighting in the same tank location), so it’s possible that lighting isn’t the only factor.

What is the different lighting??

Nems can morph quite a bit depending on lighting and other factors. They will look different from tank to tank and almost always change when they first acclimate to a tank. Give it some time tho and it'll start morphing again I bet.

Agree with above, in addition different species have different influent factors.
Isn’t this a crazy interesting hobby!

My ultra rose hasn't changed much.
