Must be. Never seen a White one. It probably started out light green Coral Commander. Was it that color when you got it? How long have you had it?

Well, it actually isn't white really. It's a very very light shade of emerald green. I think it's absolutely gorgeous actually. It's probably a pretty common variety since it didn't really cost that much. But I like it anyway.

Once you feed it and start to care for it, it will change colors and the bleaching will disapear.

Bubble tips are probably the most common anemones in the hobby, you're right.

A white anemone with pink tips is not a bubble tip anemone -- it's a condy anemone. Bubble tipped anemones that are white (and not green like Coral Commander says his is) are bleached and unhealthy.

If it's a pink BTA, that's a pretty common type too.

I have a similar looking anemone that showed up on a piece of live rock that i got. Its the same shape but it has a purple body with green tentacles, its only about the size of a dime. Is it the same type?

Yours sounds more like a majano.
If you can post a pic of it,somebody should be able to give you a positive ID.

its really small, about the size of a dime, and growing in the middle of my tank on the side of a rock so its kinda hard to see in the first place, but i will try to get a pic of it.

That may be an understatement. :bounce: I have the same exact problem though.
Sorry I couldn't make out heads or tails.

If it's what I'm seeing,then it is a majano.
Most folks say to kill it with someting like Aiptasia-X.But I never had any problems with em in my tank.
